colour ; while Odontioda Wilsonii " The 
President " was the finest form yet seen of 
this hybrid between C. vulcanica and O. 
Pescatorei. Several well-cultivated specimens 
of the Madagascan Grammangis Ellisii, which 
secured Cultural Commendation, and Spatho- 
glottis plicata were noticed. Odontiodas and 
Odontoglossums were shown in very fine 
form, the latter including President Poincare 
and Olympia, both of which were excellent 
examples of the genus. Laslio-Cattleya " The 
President " had immense bulbs, and carried 
eight richly coloured flowers. ^ranthus 
grandiflorus, Cymbidium tigrinum, as well as 
many rarities, were to be seen in the front, 
while along the back rows were numerous 
specimens of various summer flowering 
hybrids for which this firm has long been 
celebrated. 
Messrs. Mansell and Hatcher, Rawdon, 
Leeds, were awarded a Silver Cup for a very 
tastefully arranged group, the centre con- 
taining a fine specimen Miltonia vcxillana 
" Queen Alexandra," Cattleya Warscewiczii, 
with 13 large flowers, and some excellent 
plants of Odontoglossum Williamsianum. A 
distinct selection of Laslio-Cattleya Aphrodite, 
several good Cattleya hybrids, and albino 
species were to be seen in prominent positions. 
The Odontoglossums included McNabianum, 
of bright colour, Ossulstonii, with numerous 
flowers, and choice varieties of crispum. A 
very pretty effect was given by including 
dwarf spikes of Disa grandiflora among the 
decorative ferns, and foliage plants. 
Messrs. Stuart Low and Co., Bush Hill 
Park, secured a Silver Cup for an extensive 
and interesting exhibit, the specimens of 
Renanthera Imschootiana being the darkest 
coloured forms yet seen, and making an 
effective contrast to the white flowering 
Phalasnopsis Rimestadiana, of which good 
specimens were also shown. A choice bloom 
was to be seen on Cattleya Mossias Wageneri 
variety Princess Mary Mestchersky, and a 
magnificent form of Cattleya Dupreana was 
much admired. Cattleya Mendelii Sunray 
had the petals flushed on their centres with 
bright purple, the lip also being of the same 
colour. Strong plants of Vanda teres were 
along the back row, and at various places of 
advantage were excellent specimens of the 
best species, including Stanhopea tigrina, 
Chysis bractescens, Acineta densa, and the 
very rare Phalasnopsis Rimestadiana alba. 
Mr. E. V. Low, Haywards Heath, secured 
a Silver Banksian Medal for a group of 
choice Orchids, which included Cattleya 
Mendelii Lambeauiana, a pure white flower 
with a bluish tinge on the labellum, Cypri- 
pedium Lavvrenceanum Hyeanum, Cyp. 
callosum Sanderas, as well as Cattleya Mossiae 
Wageneri, represented the albino section. 
Cypripedium Gowen magnificum, with 
extremely dark flowers, was well grown. The 
curious Nanodes Medusae and Bulbophyllum 
barbigerum were also included. 
Mr. Sidney Flory, Twickenham, was 
awarded a Silver-gilt l-^lora Medal for a group 
containing an interesting selection of the 
pretty-leaved Anoectochilus. Cypripediums 
were represented by Stonei and a very good 
form of Mary Beatrice. Cattleya Gaskelliana 
alba and Laslio-Cattleya Rubens appeared to 
advantage. Several excellent Odontoglossum 
hybrids and various Cattleya species helped 
to make a very pretty exhibit. 
Mr. Harry Dixon, Spencer Park Nursery, 
Wandsworth Common, received a Silver Flora 
Medal for a nice group of various species 
and hybrids. Cattleya Mossis Wageneri, 
Cymbidium Lowianum and Odontoglossum 
Wilckeanum were all well-grown. Several 
hybrids of Odontoglossum Edwardii and 
some Odontiodas added colour to the group. 
Messrs. Jas. Veitch and Sons, K^ing's Road, 
Chelsea, were awarded a Silver Flora Medal 
for an interesting display in which several 
home-raised plants of Disa grandiflora were 
included. Lselio-Cattleya Dominiana, of rich 
colour, and various hybrid Odontoglossums 
were shown in good form. 
de Barri Crawshay, Esq., Rosefield, 
Sevenoaks, sent Odontoglossum Boadicea 
(triumphans x ardentissimum), a very large 
flower, with broad petals, and one of the 
finest additions to the yellow section ; also 
Od. Vesta. See " New Hybrids." 
J. Gurney Fowler, Esq., Glebelands, South 
Woodford, exhibited two strong plants of
