May, 1003.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 15? 
Orchids vacant, but corresponding classes for Nurserymen are filled. But 
prizes for 15 strong examples, to Amateurs and Nurserymen alike, went a- 
begging, in spite of the offer of a Williams Memorial and other Medals. 
Classes for a group of the most numerous species, for 20 and ro Cool Orchids, 
both for Amateurs and Nurserymen, for groups of Brazilian, Mexican, and 
Indian Orchids, for 10 Ancectochilus, for 12 Dendrobiums, 12 Masdevallias> 
12 species of the Aérides and Angrecum group, for 20 hardy Orchids, and 
for a group of Phalenopsis, were all vacant. Among Cypripediums we find 
blanks in the Amateurs’ classes for 25 and 15, but not in the corresponding 
classes for Nurserymen. For 20 Cattleyas and Lzlias, however, it is the 
Nurserymen’s class that is vacant. Among Odontoglossums there are 
blanks in the class for 15, both Amateurs and Nurserymen, and for the best 
six O. crispum. There now remain classes for single examples of Aérides, 
Angrecum, Anguloa, Calanthe, Ccelogyne, Cypripedium (!), Disa 
grandiflora, Lelia, Masdevallia, Miltonia, and M. vexillaria, Odontoglossum 
crispum, Phalenopsis, Saccolabium, Sobralia, Stanhopea, Trichopilia, 
Vanda, Zygopetalum, and, lastly, any other genus, not one of which 
produced a single exhibit. It is also’curious that on this occasion there was 
not a single English exhibitor. |
