Messrs. James Veitch & Sons, Chelsea, included a number of showy 
Orchids in their fine group of foliage plants, &c., to which a Gold Medal was 
awarded. They consisted chiefly of good forms of Lelia purpurata and 
cinnabarina, Odontoglossum crispum and Pescatorei, Oncidium Marshalli- 
anum, phymatochilum, and varicosum Rogersii, Cattleya Mendelii, and a 
few good Lezelio-cattleyas. 
Messrs. James Cypher & Sons, Cheltenham, staged a brilliant group of 
Orchids which gained a Silver Cup. It contained a fine series of showy 
Cattleyas, Lelia purpurata, Miltonia vexillaria, Odontoglossums, many

things. We noted some good Epiphronitis Veitchii, Brassia verrucosa, 
Dendrobium atroviolaceum, Brassocattleya intermedio-Digbyana, Cypri-

Messrs. Armstrong & Brown, Tunbridge Wells, staged a particularly 
fine group, the effect of which was enhanced by an exceptionally artistic 
arrangement, the flat surface being broken up by two deep dells, which 
were filled with Cypripediums, and contrasted well with the brightly- 
coloured things behind and at the convex sides. A Silver-gilt Medal was 
awarded to the group, in which we noted many fine Odontoglossums, 
Oncidium, Marshallianum, macranthum, brilliant Masdevallias, Cymbidium 
Lowianum, and, among the tall things at the back, a fine plant of 
Ceelogyne Dayana, bearing about ten of its graceful racemes. There were
