SPECIAL PRIZES FOR NEW PLANTS, 1896. 



With the hope and object of encouraging individual effort 

 and original research the Council in 1896 offered twelve medals 

 — six for Introduced Plants and six for plants of Home Pro- 

 duction. 



Owing to insufficiency of competition (in several of the classes 

 there were absolutely no entries, and in others only one or two 

 at most) the judges appointed to deal with these classes were 

 only able to award the medal in one class, as below : — 



Glass M. — The best Orchid raised in this country not pre- 

 viously shown at any of the Society's meetings. 



OPEN. 



Silver-gilt Banksian Medal. 



To Messrs. James Veitch & Sons, Chelsea, for Laelio- 

 Cattleya x Decia alba. See p. ccxvii.
