JUNE, 1g09.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 181 
F. Menteth Ogilvie, Esq., The Shrubbery, Oxford (gr. Mr. Balmforth), 
staged a magnificent group, nearly two bays in extent, the plants being of 
high quality and splendidly grown. To it was awarded the Sherwood Cup 
(value £21), as the best group in the Show staged by an amateur. Prominent 
in the group were many fine Odontoglossums, a charming arrangement of 
O. crispum with other species and hybrids occupying the centre, while on 
one side was a group of over thirty Cypripedium x Maudiz and on the 
other side some three dozen C. callosum Sander, giving a very fine effect. 
Among the plants noted were the brilliant Odontioda Charlesworthii, O. 
Devossiana, a wholly scarlet form of O. Vuylstekez, a fine O. Bradshawiz, 
with a second form much variegated with white, and a large salmon-red 
form with whitish side lobes to the lip, a few fine Miltonia x Bleuana, 
some good M. vexillaria, a beautiful example of Odontoglossum luteopur- 
pureum Vuylstekeanum, richly-coloured forms of O. x eximium and O. X 
percultum, Brassia verrucosa, some good examples of Cattleya x Dussel- 
dorfii Undine, C. citrina, a fine C. Skinneri, Dendrobium atroviolaceum, a 
very fine D. Falconeri, Epidendrum Parkinsonianum, E. x O’Brienianum, 
Phalzenopsis Lueddemanniana, the fine Trichopilia Backhouseana, some very 
good Lelia purpurata, a few good Cypripedium niveum and C. Godefroye 
leucochilum, and many other good things, the whole being very tastefully 
arranged. 
Sir Jeremiah Colman, Bart., Gatton Park, Reigate (gr. Mr. Collier), 
staged a remarkably rich and varied group, of about equal extent, in which 
numerous Cattleyas, Odontoglossums, and Miltonia vexillaria made a bril- 
liant display, backed with examples of the floriferous Epidendrum X Boundi, 
Dendrobium pulchellum, Cymbidium Lowianum, C. insigne, C. X Colmaniz, 
and others, while in the front were clusters of varieties bedded in mounds 
of moss, so as to bring them well up to the eye. The group was well 
arranged, with an undulating surface, and was awarded a Silver Cup, 
gaining also a similar award as the second. prize for the best group of 
Orchids shown by an amateur. Among the showy things noted were some 
good Odontoglossum crispum varieties, including the blotched forms 
Colmaniz, Cooksoni, Surprise, Mrs. F. Peeters, and others, O. x Wilcke- 
anum The Don, with spikes of fourteen and fifteen handsome flowers, a 
fine O. X Andersonianum, the greenish-yellow O. Hallii var. E. Ashworth, 
&c., Cattleya Pittiz, C. intermedia coerulea, some fine C. Mossiz, Spatho- 
glottis aurea, Broughtonia sanguinea, Dendrobium Phalenopsis, Brassia 
brachiata, Renanthera Imschootiana, Epiphronitis Veitchii, Diacrium 
bicornutum, Cypripedium Argus, Lycaste cruenta, and numerous others, 
while among the rarer things we noted the beautiful Chondrorhyncha
