In Class 7, for a group of Cattleya, Leliocattleya, and Brassavola, 
species, hybrids, and varieties (open), the only group, staged by Lt.-Col. Sir 
George L. Holford, K.C.V.O., Westonbirt (gr. Mr. H. G. Alexander), was 
remarkable in every respect, and to it both a Gold Medal and a Silver-gilt 
Lindley Medal were awarded. It occupied an area of about 300 square 
feet, and was brilliant from end to end, both as to quality and culture. It 
included fifty plants of Cattleya Fabia with over 260 flowers. These had 
been obtained from two different crosses, one lot being remarkable for its 
brilliant colours, the other being rather lighter and with more yellow in the 
throat. Other beautiful things were two plants of C. fulvescens Westonbirt 
var., Showing a great improvement on the type, which was also included, 
some fine C. labiata, with the beautiful white varieties alba, Gilmourie,
