JuNE, 1911.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 189 
Charlesworth & Co., Haywards Heath, Messrs. Stuart Low & Co., Enfield, 
and Messrs. T. Pauwels & Co., Ghent, the two former not for competition. 
The Orchid section of the Jury consisted of Messrs. R. Allen Rolfe, President, 
A. E. Boccardo, S. Bramante, A. de Keller, D. A. Ferrario, C, E. 
Malesci, L. Vannini, and C. G. Monti, Secretary. 
The competitive classes were poorly filled, there being no entries in 
thirteen of the ninteen classes set apart for them. There were six classes 
for novelties, but only a single entry, in the one for a new Cypripedium in 
flower, in which Signor Fernando Scarlatti exhibited a good hybrid 
seedling from C. Lawrenceanum x Rothschildianum, but the Gold Medal 
offered had to be withheld, as the plant is already in commerce under the 
name of C. Mahlerz. 
In the class for a collection of Orchids in flower of 100 different species 
and varieties, there was a single entry, and Messrs. Theodore Pauwels & 
Co., Ghent, were awarded the first prize, an Ornamental Vase, value 200 
lire, for an excellent group, in which Cattleyas, Lzlias, Miltonia vexillaria, 
Dendrobiums, Odontoglossums, Cypripediums, Renanthera Imschootiana, 
&c., were well represented. 
For 50 distinct kinds the first prize, a large Gold Medal, was awarded to 
Signor Raffaello Mercatelli, Florence, for a good group, chiefly of warm 
house species, including several good Cattleyas and allies, Dendrobium 
superbum, Aérides odoratum, Anguloa Clowesii, Odontoglossum citrosmum, 
luteopurpureum and Pescatorei, Angraecum sesquipedale, and many others. 
In the class for 25 there were three entries, the first prize being awarded — 
to the Scuola di Pomologia, Florence, for a group of well-grown plants, 
including several fine Vanda tricolor and suavis, a series of seven good 
varieties of Lelia purpurata, Dendrobium superbum, and various others. 
The second prize went to March. Carlo Ridolfi, Meleto, for a rich and varied 
group of smaller plants. A third group was exhibited by Signor Raffaello 
Linari, Florence, and contained some interesting things, but did not secure 
an award, some of the plants being in duplicate. 
In the class for Cypripediums and Selenipediums there was only a 
single exhibit, that by Signor F. Scarlatti, to which the second prize, a 
Silver-gilt Medal was given. It contained good examples of C. 
glaucophyllum, tonsum, Calypso, S. grande, caudatum, conchiferum, 
Schreederze, and many of the more familiar kinds. 
In the class for a Vanilla in flower or fruit the first prize, a Silver-gilt 
Medal, was awarded to March. Carlo Torrigiano, Florence, fora fine plant 
with six racemes, mostly passing into fruit. A large plant was exhibited by 
the Instituto Agricola Coloniale Italiano, Florence, but being out of flower 
the second prize was not awarded. 
In the class for an Orchid House built for utility and economy, the first
