THE ORCHID REVIEW. 175 
Cavendishianum, ampliatum majus, luridum, and splendidum. Always 
bright is the little Broughtonia sanguinea, which seems to do fairly well 
here. Cattleyas were also represented by C. Lueddemanniana (speciossima), 
Trianz, Mendelii, and a pretty form of C. intermedia, although their 
culture presents a certain amount of difficulty over here. Phaius Wallichii 
was also beautiful, bearing spikes two feet long with a quantity of flowers. 
Here Phaius are mostly planted out, and are far ahead of anything of the 
kind seen at home. The latter portion of the above-mentioned plants were 
grouped with excellent taste in a small glass house. 
Amongst other exhibits we must mention the collection of Mr. Dooly 
Chand, to which was awarded the great medal. His Orchids were 
distributed amongst a beautiful lot of foliage plants, and were tastefully 
arranged. Here a strong specimen of Stauropsis Batemanii (Vanda 
gigantea), bearing seven large flowers, called our attention, as well as a 
curious form of Cymbidium somewhat close to aloifolium, and various 
kinds of Dendrobes and Oncidiums, for which the competitor took special 
prizes. 
Two gold mdals were awarded to M. Joy Gobind Law, C.I.E. The 
first was for the largest collection of any Orchids in flower, amongst which 
we noticed Lelia glauca, Broughtonia sanguinea, Dendrobium undulatum, 
D. albosanguineum, D. superbum, D. crepidatum, Oncidium splendidum, 
O. Cavendishianum, and various others. The second was for the largest 
group of Phalenopsis in flower. This exhibit was a real gem, although 
mostly composed of P. Schilleriana and amabilis, of excellent culture. 
We noticed several variations amongst Schilleriana, chiefly in the spotting 
of the sepals and lips. 
A Silver Medal was awarded to the head gardener of Eden Gardens, 
Calcutta , for the largest collection of Phaius in flower. Although there 
was only P. Wallichii, the display was really great. Some of the spikes 
were about two feet high, and the flowers so richly-coloured as to remind 
us of those of the beautiful P. x Cooksoni. 
Amongst other competitors who took first prizes, we must mention 
Mr. A. K Rose and Mr. H. E. Gatche, the former showing an interest- 
ing group of Paphiopedilums. Prizes for Aérides, Calanthe, Cattleya, 
Cymbidium, Odontoglossum, Saccolabium, and Vanda, were not competed 
for, it being a little too early for such varieties to bloom. 
It ought to be mentioned that Mr. Chattergee did not enter into any of 
the competitions, and that the success of the abov. show is mostly due to 
his generosity. Our esteemed friend is actuall: building a permanent 
house for the Society, to be called, with His Excellency Lord Curzon’s 
permission, the Curzon House, where the N. O.S.I. will be able to hold 
its future shows,
