THE TEMPLE SHOW. 
THE date of the twelfth great annual show of the Royal Horticultural 
Society in the Inner Temple Gardens was fixed for May 31st and two 
following days, and, considering the backwardness of the season, it was 
fortunate that it was not a week earlier. At the moment of writing we are 
able to say that a magnificent display of Orchids is again brought together, 
and as the weather promises to be all that could be desired the Show 
promises to be a great success. The great trade firms are, as usual, well 
represented, and there are fine groups from Sir Trevor Lawrence, Sir 
Frederick Wigan, W. A. Gillett, Esq., John Rutherford, Esq., M.P., 
W. C. Walker, Esq., L. Mond, Esq., W. Thompson, Esq., and M. Jules 
Hye, the two latter showing chiefly superb Odontoglossums, while single 
specimens come from several exhibitors. A glance round the exhibits 
reveals less of novelty than usual, and in a few cases there is evidence of 
things having been hurried to get them out in time. Cattleya Mendelli, on 
the other hand, which is sometimes nearly over, is this year staged in 
quantity and in fine condition. Owing to the lateness of the date and 
pressure On our space, we regret that a full report must stand over until 
our next number.
