ORCHIDS AT THE HANLEY PARK FETE. 
THIs young show, the second of the series organised by the Corporation of 
Hanley, was held on July 6th and 7th, when Orchids came out strongly, 
both in the special classes and in the groups of plants arranged for effect, 
Mr. Cypher using them generously, and also Mr. Jenkinson, of Newcastle, 
Staffordshire, who had some wonderfully grown plants of Phalenopsis 
amabilis. 
The classes for collections of Orchids not to occupy more than 100 feet 
of space were arranged in a semi-circle, on 2-tier stages, at the bottom of the 
large tent. 
The premier group was a fine collection, consisting principally of Odonto- 
glossums, arranged with palms and ferns on a bank of green moss, which 
hid entirely the pots and stage and brought the colours up very distinctly. 
It contained most of the species in bloom at the present time, together with 
a few good Cypripediums, as C. Curtisii with ten flowers, superbiens, 
Rothschildianum, X Goweri superbum, and others, also some fine Cochlioda 
Neoetzliana, one plant bearing eleven spikes. This collection came from W. 
Thompson, Esq., Walton Grange, Stone (gr. Mr. Stevens). 
The second prize lot came from Mr. J. Cypher, Cheltenham, and con- 
tained a very fine Odontoglossum luteopurpureum, Epidendrum prismato- 
carpum with twelve spikes, a splendid Dendrobium Dalhousieanum with ten 
spikes, together with Cattleya Mossiz, Mendelii, Warscewiczii, Lzelia pur- 
purata, Thunia Marshalliana, &c. 
Mr. J. Robson, of Altrincham, came in third, with a nice little collection. 
In the class for eight Orchids, Mr. Blair, gardener to the. Duke of Suther- 
land, Trentham, was the first, with Epidendrum vitellinum bearing twenty 
spikes, Masdevallia Harryana trenthamensis, M. H. Thompson’s scarlet, a 
grand piece of Odontoglossum crispum bearing three spikes, Cattleya 
Mendelii, C. Gaskelliana, Miltonia vexillaria, and Oncidium macranthum. 
The greater portion of these were made-up plants. 
Mr. J. Cypher, Cheltenham, came in a good second, bing group containing 
a fine Oncidium macranthum, Vanda ccerulea with two spikes, Epidendrum 
prismatocarpum with seven spikes, Platyclinis filiformis with twenty-two 
spikes, and others.
