Messrs. Charlesworth & Co., Heaton, Bradford, staged an extensive 

 and most brilliant group, which gained the award of a Gold Medal. Itwas 

 particularly rich in showy hybrids, which were grouped together in classes 

 as. much as possible, and thus rendered additionally interesting. In the 

 centre of the group was a fine batch of Cattleya X Mantinii forms, and 

 another very beautiful group was formed of C. X Iris varieties, ranging 

 from primrose yellow to reddish orange, with rich crimson lips. Other fine 

 things were C. X fulvescens, C. X Germania, C. X Parthenia vernalis, 

 some fine forms of L.-c. X iuminosa and L.-c. X Cappei, L.-c. X Alcyone 

 (L. flava X C. Schilleriana), a pretty novelty with chrome-yellow flowers, 

 and the front of the lip marked with crimson, some good Vanda coerulea. 

 A group of Brassavola Digbyana hybrids was also very effective, and one of 

 them received a First-class Certificate under the name of Laelio-cattleya X 

 Digbyano-Mossi* Queen Alexandra (C. Mossiae Wageneri X B. Digbyana), 

 a beautiful white form without a trace of pink, the only colour being a tinge 

 of greenish on the sepals and a little light primrose on the disc of the lip. 

 Awards of Merit were also given to Cattleya X Iris Fascinator, a rich 

 orange variety somewhat shaded with red, and C. Rose Leemann (amethysto- 

 glossa X Dowiana aurea), a distinct and beautiful hybrid, having pale 

 Indian yellow sepals and petals, the former bearing some purple spots, and 

 the latter slightly veined with purple, while the front lobe of the lip and 

 tips of the side lobes were rich purple-crimson. 



Messrs. Sander & Sons, St. Albans, staged a very fine group, which 

 gained a Silver Flora Medal, including, among other interesting things, 

 Cymbidium X woodlandense (Tracyanum X Mastersii) with flowers most 

 like the former, Cattleya X amabilis (labiata X Warscewiczii), a large and 

 richly coloured hybrid, C. X Lord Rothschild, Zygocolax X Amesianus, 

 Bulbophyllum recurvum, Miltonia X Bluntii Lubbersiana, Laelio-cattleya
