Certificate. He also showed Lelia autumnalis alba, but the flowers were 
much smaller than we have seen in this variety, and it obtained an Award 
of Merit only. 
G. Shorland Ball, Esq., Ashford, Wilmslow (gr. Mr. Hay), showed a 
very fine plant of Cypripedium insigne Sanderze with three flowers 
expanded, and a good plant of C. i. Sanderianum, both of which received 
First-class Certificates. The same exhibitor also showed a very beautiful 
seedling, called C. X Mrs. Maynard, derived from C. X nitens magnificum 
crossed with C. X Leeanum. The dorsal sepal is of about the size and 
form of C. X Leeanum giganteum with emerald green radiations for nearly 
half-an-inch from the base, the rest pure white with dark maroon spots. 
The pouch and petals are very similar to C. xX nitens. With these 
exhibits were also a dozen cut blooms of the best forms of C. insigne, in- 
cluding Sandere, Sanderianum, aureum, punctato-violaceum, Chantinii 
superbum, albens, giganteum, Balliz, and Ernestii. These were arranged 
amongst the fronds of a maidenhair fern, and looked very effective. 
John Leemann, Esq., West Bank House, Heaton Mersey (gr. Mr. Edge), 
showed Cattleya Triane Fleur de Paradis (Award of Merit), C. labiata, 
C. Triane albens, Cypripedium X Lathamianum, C. x Pitcherianum, C. X 
nitens, C. hirsutissimum, Oncidium tigrinum, and Dendrobium superbum. 
_ G. W. Law-Schofield, Esq., New Hall Hey, Rawtenstall (gr. Mr. 
Shill), showed Cypripedium x Cravenianum, a very pretty seedling with 
bellatulum as one of the parents, which received a First-class Certificate. 
The same exhibitor also showed C. xX Leeanum giganteum (Award of 
Merit), and a good cut bloom of C. insigne called Harefield Hall variety, ’ 
but we must confess we fail to see any difference between this and the 
Uplands variety. 
E. J. Sidebotham. Esq., Erlesdene, Bowdon (gr. Mr. Shiner), staged 
Sophronitis grandiflora, excellent in colour, but we have seen larger flowers 
(Award of Merit). 
Henry Greenwood, Esq., Highfield, Haslingden (gr. Mr. Spurr), 
showed a very pretty seedling Cypripedium x Antigone (niveum X 
Lawrenceanum), which received an Award of Merit, but the plant appears 
to be blooming for the first time, and the flower was not at its best. He 
also showed Dendrobium x Kenneth (Maccarthiae x Bensonz), which 
received an Award of Merit, and Lelia albida. 
_. Thomas Statter, Esq., Stand Hall, Whitefield (gr. Mr. Johnson), 
showed Cypripedium  X Statterianum (Award of Merit), C. insigne 
Johnsonianum, somewhat after the style of Sanderianum but exhibiting the 
slightest indications of spotting at the base of the dorsal sepal, and also in 
the white margin at the top (Award of Merit), C. x Leeanum, Stand Hall 
variety (Award of Merit), C. x Ariadne and C. insigne marmoratum.
