NOTES. 
THE prize offered by the Royal Horticultural Society on June 12th for the 
best hybrid Orchid not exhibited before January 1, 1894, was awarded to 
Messrs. F. Sander and Co., St. Albans, for Phaius x Owenianus, which 
also received a First-class Certificate at the recent Temple Show. It is a 
very beautiful hybrid, and the first derived from P. Humblotii; which it 
approaches in shape, while, the colour’i is more like that of the other parent, 
P. Oweniz.
