108 THE - ORCHID ‘REVIEW. [APRIL, 1912 
Then there are classes for specimen Orchids in collections of 100 
specimens, and others in which the specimens are limited to fifty, twelve, 
and six. There will be keen competition for the Silver Cup offered for the 
best specimen Orchid in the show. One exhibitor will contribute a group 
of Orchids in which the interest is botanical rather than decorative. The 
‘visitor will here be able to see the wonderful forms and devices exhibited 
by the different flowers, illustrating the numerous ways by which the 
important process of fertilisation is brought about, necessary for the 
perpetuation of the species. 
We have as yet referred only to competitive Orchids, but these will not 
-exhaust the exhibits of these marvellous flowers, for some of the most able 
amateurs and nurserymen will confine their efforts to exhibiting honorary 
collections. For instance, Sir (sedrge Tidlford;: K:C.V.0,,° (.8 Bis 
expected to exhibit the largest group of Orchids an amateur has ever shown 
in this or any other country, and the excellent quality of the plants may be 
judged by previous exhibits from the Westonbirt collection. 
It is a notable fact that in the Orchid section the number of entries 
from foreign Orchidists is very nearly one-half the number received from 
Britain. The exhibitors of Orchids are as follow :—
