Lieut.-Col. Six George Holford, K.C.V.O., 

 Westonbirt (gr. Mr. H. G. Alexander), was 

 awarded a Gold Medal for a magnificent 



exhibit. The principal feature was about 100 

 strong spikes of white La?lia anceps, which 

 hung gracefully over the dwarfer growing 

 Orchids. Many C} mbidium h\-brids, including 

 the new C. Dryad (insigne x Parishii Sanderae) 

 were in excellent form, while Cypripediums 

 were represented by the massive Alcibiades, 

 Cyclops and Viking. In prominent positions 

 were specimen plants of Cattleya Trianas The 

 Premier, C. T. Mooreana, and C. T. Imperator. 

 A beautiful specimen of Vanda Watsonii, 

 with eight many-flowered spikes, as well as 

 numerous Odontoglossums and various 

 hybrids, completed this very attractive and 

 elegant group.
