FEBRUARY, 1909.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 53 
O. O. Wrigley, Esq., Bridge Hall, Bury (gr. Mr. Rogers), sent a 
specially fine group of Cypripediums and Lycastes, all of excellent quality 
and well grown. C. insigne was very strongly represented, in spite of the 
fog of a week or two ago, and I noted the varieties Mrs. F. W. Moore, 
Hopkinsonianum, giganteum, Exquisite, Berryanum, Sanderianum, King 
Edward VII., Queen Elena, &c. C. xX aureum was well represented by 
the varieties virginale, Monarch, (Edippe, Rogersii, and Monica Measures. 
I noted also the unique C. x Euryades incomparabile, and New Hall Hey 
var., a good C. X Archimedes, C. X Maudie, C. x Charlesianum, &c., 
also a batch of good Lycastes, the best of which were L. x Imshootiana, 
L. Skinneri alba, L. S. Glory, L. S. grandiflora, this very fine, L. S. Lovli- 
ness, &c. A special Vote of thanks was awarded to the group. 
Ziba A. Ward, Esq., Northenden (gr. Mr. Weatherby), staged a very 
bright and interesting group of Odontoglossums, intermixed with Calanthes. 
Two hybrid Odontoglossums of unrecorded parentage, viz., O. X Geo. 
Weatherby and O. X Martin both received Awards of Merit. I noted also 
O. X Vuylstekei, O. X ardentissimum, O. x Rolfeew, O.  waltonense, 
the bright Odontioda x heatonensis, Cypripedium X Sallieri Hyeanum, 
C. X Charlesianum, C. X aureum virginale, and many others (Silver-gilt 
Medal). 
H. J. Bromilow, Esq., Rainhill (gr. Mr. Morgan), sent a group of 
Cypripediums, all of first-rate quality. The most interesting plant was C. 
Charlesworthii Bromilowiz, which obtained a First-class Certificate. Both 
plant and flower were rather small, the colour being pure white and pale 
apple green. It isa rare acquisition and good companion to the unique 
C. C. Bromilowianum. C. X son giganteum also gained a First-class 
Certificate, and though a fine flower I must admit to a feeling of disap- 
pointment on seeing it, probably because it has been over-praised. The 
four following received Awards of Merit: C. X Juno Rann Lea var., C. x 
Euryades Heaton var., C. X Ainsworthii, and C. bellatulum var. Marjorie, 
the dorsal of the latter having a decided rose colour, and the lower parts 
being normal. I noted also C. x Troilus giganteum, C. villosum auriferum, 
C. x Earl Tankerville, C. x Gaston Bultel var. King Edward VII. &c. 
(Silver-gilt Medal). 
R. Ashworth, Esq., Ashlands, Newchurch (gr. Mr. Fletcher), staged a 
group consisting of many choice plants, very tastefully arranged. Odonto- 
glossum XxX Lambeauianum var. Triton gained an Award of Merit, and 
Cymbidium x Holfordianum, though scarcely at its best, a similar award. 
There were arching sprays of O. X Lawrenceanum, O. X L. var. Milo, O. 
x Vuylstekei, O. crispum Miss Lucien Linden, O. c. Trissie, &c. I noted 
the albino Cypripedium x Maudie, and by its side, C. X M. var. R. Ash- 
worth (callosum Sanders X Lawrenceanum), and this latter was actually
