From Malcolm S. Cooke, Esq., Kingston Hill (gardener, 

 Mr. Cullimore), came a choice display made up of Odontoglossum 

 Uro-Skinnerii, several Oncidiums, including 0. crispum and 

 serratum, Leptotes bicolor, Lpidendrum vitellinum majus and 

 E. varicosum, besides such Cypripediums as C. Lowii, Druryi, 

 and hirsutissimum. 



The Right Hon. J. Chamberlain, Highbury (gardener, Mr. 

 Burberry), contributed a few brilliant examples of Masdevallias. 



G. Burnham, Esq., Stoke Newington, staged good plants of 

 Cypripedium bellatulum and Lcelia purpurata. 



A pretty little group came from W. F. Darnell, Esq., 

 Stamford Hill (gardener, Mr. J. Elliott). It contained well- 

 grown Cattleyas and Laelias, together with some graceful 

 Palms. 



Mrs. Arbuthnot, Bexley (gardener, Mr. J. Mitchell), had 

 among her exhibits good specimens of Niltonia vexillaria, 

 Brassia cordata, Gypripedium caudatum, the deep-coloured 

 Lcelia purpurata Brysiana and the white L. p. alba, the 

 golden Anguloa Clowesii, the old and distinct Vanda Boxburghii, 

 and a plant of Sobralia macrantha magnified with flowers fully 

 bearing out the Latin adjectives applied to them. 



Mrs. Haselfoot, Southampton (gardener, Mr. N. Blandford), 

 sent a large specimen of Dendrobium nobile completely covered 

 with flowers. The plant was exhibited for the purpose of showing 

 that severe pruning, which had been freely practised on it for 

 some years, was at least not detrimental. 



His Grace the Duke of Marlborough, Blenheim (gardener, 

 Mr. T. Whillans), had a large collection, neatly embellished with 

 small Ferns — Cattleyas, Dendrobiums, Lcelia purpurata, Aerides 

 virens, Odontoglossum citrosmum, Cymbidium Lounanum, and 

 Vandas noticeable among others. 



Messrs. de Rothschild, of Gunnersbury Park, Acton 

 (gardener, Mr. G. Reynolds), contributed a group of sixty 

 remarkably fine plants of Vanda teres, which seems to thrive 

 better in the gardens of the various members of this family than 

 anywhere else. Most of the spikes bore about four to six large 

 and highly coloured rosy flowers. 



From A. H. Smee, Esq., Carshalton (gardener, Mr. C. W. 

 Cummins), came well-grown specimens of Cattleya Mossice, 

 with delicately shaded flowers of various hues ; C. Mendelii
