180 THE ORCHID REVIEW. (Jung, 1910. 
THE TEMPLE SHOW. 
Tue Great Spring Show of the Royal Horticultural Society was held at the 
Inner Temple Gardens from May 24th to 26th, and was again a great horti- 
cultural success. The weather was fine throughout, though it turned rather 
cold and windy soon after the Show opened and remained so to the end. 
The Orchids, which invariably prove one of the leading features of the 
Show, were in great force, and all points considered better than on any 
previous occasion. The awards in this class were very numerous, con- 
sisting of four Gold, and three other Medals, five Silver Cups, seven First- 
class Certificates, seven Awards of Merit, and two Botanical Certificates. 
The Sherwood Cup was also allotted to Orchids on this occasion. The 
three most striking novelties were two secondary hybrid Odontiodas from 
M. Ch. Vuylsteke, and an albino of Cattleya Lawrenceana from Messrs. 
Charlesworth. 
In the following report we have endeavoured to give the salient features _ 
of the different groups, but anything like a complete report of such an 
extensive display is quite impossible. The quality of the exhibits reached a 
high standard of excellence, and examples of good culture were abundant. 
The Society and its Officials must be congratulated on the success of their 
twenty-third Show in these historic gardens. 
Sir Jeremiah Colman, Bart., Gatton Park, Reigate (gr. Mr. Collier), 
staged a magnificent group, in which both species and hybrids were richly 
represented, the former including a large number of choice rarities. All 
the plants showed excellent culture, and the group was awarded the Sher- 
wood Cup. The surface was pleasingly varied, and the arrangement may 
be described as consisting of a central bank and others at each end, with 
two intervening dells, the larger plants being set up with a background of 
Asparagus. Specially noteworthy were the numerous choice Odontoglos- 
sums, Oncidiums, Miltonia vexillaria, and Phalenopsis amabilis, with a few 
good Cattleyas and Lzliocattleyas, while a batch of Odontioda Bradshawize 
raised at Gatton gave a very brilliant effect. Among the choice things 
noted were the chaste Odontoglossum crispum xanthotes, O. c. Col- 
manianum, O. c. Lady Colman, and a curious peloriate variety of the 
species, some graceful sprays of O. x Thompsonianum raised in the collec- 
tion, the bright yellow O. x King George V., O. x Astarte (tripudians X 
Harryanum), O. x Phoebe splendens, O. x Rolfez, the violet-blue Den- 
drobium Victoria-Regina, the graceful D. canaliculatum, several D. aduncum, 
Odontioda heatonensis, a beautiful Brassocattleya Veitchii, Epidendrum x 
Boundii, Cymbidium Lowianum concolor, Renanthera Imschootiana, 
Cattleya X Murrayi, Lycaste lasioglossa, Cochlioda Neetzliana, Oncidium 
macranthum, O. pulchellum, the rare Broughtonia sanguinea, Stanhopea
