Award of Merit. 



To Miltonia x Binotii (votes, unanimous), from Sir Trevor 

 Lawrence, Bart., Burford, Dorking (gr. Mr. W. H. White). A 

 supposed natural hybrid between M. Candida and M. Eegnellii. 

 The plant bore seven spikes of pretty flowers. Sepals and petals 

 cream -white, tinged with rose at the base and barred with 

 cinnamon-brown ; lip lilac with purplish base. 



To Miltonia x leucoglossa (votes, unanimous), from Sir 

 Trevor Lawrence, Bart. (gr. Mr. W. H. White). A natural 

 hybrid, probably of M. cuneata. Sepals and petals cream-white, 

 with irregular blotches of light violet ; lip white. 



To Cattleya x intertexta (labiata Warnerii x Mossiae) 

 (votes, unanimous). A fine garden hybrid, intermediate in 

 character between the two forms of C. labiata used in its 

 production. 



To Lselia x splendens (purpurata $ crispa £ ) (votes, unani- 

 mous), from Messrs. Jas. Veitch & Sons, Chelsea. This is the 

 reverse cross of the variety previously shown, but similar to it. 

 Interesting, as by it the suggestion that L. x exoniensis is of 

 this parentage is disproved, although L. x splendens bears 

 some resemblance to it. 



Cultural Commendation. 



To Mr. W. H. White (gr. to Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart.), for 

 a fine specimen of Miltonia spectabilis, with many flowers. 

 Grown at Burford for some years.
