130 THE ORCHID REVIEW 
This show is always famous for the magnificent display of Orchids 
brought together, and we have reason to believe that on the present 
occasion the Exhibition will be fully up to the average of former years. 
Intending Exhibitors should give notice to the Secretary not later than 
May 2oth, on forms of entry to be obtained from him. 
We have received the Schedule of Prizes of the Grand Exhibition of 
Orchids, etc., of the Royal Botanical and Horticultural Society of Man- 
chester, to be held in The Gardens, Old Trafford, Manchester, from the 
1gth to the 23rd of May, 1893 (inclusive). Various Cups and Money Prizes 
are offered. Intending Exhibitors must give at least six clear days’ notice 
to the Secretary, Mr. Bruce Findlay, Botanical Gardens, Manchester. 
We note Classes for the best Miscellaneous Collection of Orchids in 
bloom, both for Amateurs and Nurserymen, for the best thirty Orchids, also 
for ten. Also for the best collections of Odontoglossums, Cypripediums, 
Cattleyas, and Dendrobiums. Messrs. F. Sander and Co. offer a Silver Cup 
for the best new Orchid sent out by them since 1887. There are also two 
Veitch Memorial Medals, one for the best Hybrid Orchid already in 
commerce, the other for one not in commerce; also a Williams Memorial 
Medal and £5, for the best bona-fide specimen Orchid in the show. 
The sale of the Langton House collection of Orchids, brought t 
gether by G. R. le Doux, Esq., of East Molesey, is announced by Messts. 
Protheroe and Morris, to take place at their Central Sale Rooms, Cheapside, 
on March 16th and two following days. 
At the sale of the Quorn House collection of Orchids, a fine plant of 
Cattleya Mendeli with thirty-two pseudobulbs, eight of them with sheaths, 
was sold for 220 guineas, the purchasers being Messrs. Hugh Low and Co. 
of Clapton. 
A correspondent suggests that notes of sales of rare and interesting 
Orchids, with the prices they realise and their purchasers, would be a? 
interesting feature of the Review, as it is frequently very ee : 
ascertain the whereabouts of such specimens. We quite endorse | z 
remark, and only hope our readers will send us such particulars from time 
to time. Where, for example, is the interesting Cattleya resplenden 
Reh. f.? And we have a list of others which we are obliged to hold ov! 
for the present.
