sphacelatum, Cymbidium Lowianum, Cattleya Skinneri and other good 
Cattleyas, Odontoglossums, &c. 
Welbore S. Ellis, Esq., Hazelbourne, Dorking (gr. Mr. Masterton), 
staged a fine group, to which a Silver Cup was awarded. It contained 
a number of good forms of Odontoglossum crispum, three of them bearing 
spikes with thirteen flowers, and several very prettily marked, a capital 
plant of O. x Coradinei with five spikes and an aggregate of fifty-eight 
flowers, a good O. x Ruckerianum, O. x Andersonianum, Hazelbourne 
variety, with broad segments, O. citrosmum, a good Oncidium concolor, 
the rare Cymbidium tigrinum with six spikes and sixteen flowers, the 
charming Miltonia Warscewiczii with twenty flowers, Cypripedium 
Chamberlainianum, and various other showy Orchids. 
F. Hardy, Esq., Tyntesfield, Ashton-on-Mersey (gr. Mr. Safford), con- 
tributed a few excellent specimens, for which a Silver Cup was awarded. 
Lelia purpurata Hardyana was a noble specimen of a richly-coloured 
variety, which was awarded a Cultural Commendation; Cattleya Mossize 
‘was also a gigantic plant loaded with flowers; and C. Skinneri had eight 
flowers on one spike. The others were, Phaleenopsis speciosa, Hardy’s 
variety, of a peculiar brownish purple colour, the beautiful Odontoglossum 
crispum Bonnyanum, and Cypripedium bellatulum, Hardy’s variety, which 
received a First-class Certificate. This had light-yellow flowers, veined 
and spotted with purple-brown, and a white lip with a few spots. 
Messrs. F. Sander and Co., St. Albans, received a Silver Cup for a 
jarge and magnificent group, containing several sterling novelties. First 
and foremost we may name the beautiful Cypripedium callosum Sandere, 
an albino, having white flowers striped with emerald-green, but more 
graceful in shape than C. Lawrenceanum Hyeanum, to which it is com- 
parable in colour. Phaius x Owenianus (P. Owenie 2 x P. Humblotiiz) 
is a richly-coloured hybrid of excellent shape. Cattleya Mossiz Imperialis 
is a very large and richly-coloured form, with the sides of the lip veined 
with golden-yellow. These three each received First-class Certificates. 
Lzlio-cattleya x Frederic Boyle is a very remarkable hybrid derived from 
Cattleya x Triane ¢ and Lelia anceps f, the flower white and most 
like the latter, except that the lip approaches C. Triane in shape, and 
is tinged with bright rose in front. It received an Award of Merit; as 
did also Odontoglossum crispum Massangeanum, a broad and richly 
spotted form, Cattleya Mendelii picta, and Leelio-cattleya x Aylingii, a 
plant of unrecorded parentage allied to L.-c. x Canhamiana. Here were 
many Cattleya Messize Wageneri and C. M. Reineckiana, several good 
C. granulosa, C. Dowiana chrysotoxa, very striking and curiously out of 
season; C. Warneri, good C. Skinneri alba; several good varieties of C. 
Mendelii, Lelia tenebrosa, some excellent Miltonia vexillaria, one unusually 
large, and another very dark; a fine Odontoglossum hastilabium with nine
