 To Cypripedium Antigone x (C.niveum x C. Lawrenceanum) 

 (votes, unanimous), from Baron Schroder, The Dell, Egham 

 (gardener, Mr. H. Ballantine). This is a fine hybrid raised by 

 Messrs. James Veitch & Sons, of Chelsea. In colour and form 

 it much resembles C. niveum, but in size of plant and flower it 

 is equal to C. Lawrenceanum. The white sepals and petals 

 have a delicate flush of rose colour, a similar tint suffusing the 

 front of the lip. 



To Cattleya intermedia alba (votes, 5 for, 4 against), exhibited 

 by Thos. Statter, Esq., Stand Hall, Whitefield, Manchester 

 (gardener, Mr. E. Johnson). This variety has pure white 

 flowers, but not so large as those of the other white variety, 

 C. i. Parthenia.
