 a were tastefully disposed among Cattleya Skinneri, C. Schrodene, and C. 

 Mendeli ; a few cypripedes, Oncidium concolor, Epidendrum radicans, and Vanda 

 tricolor were also present in good form. 



A glorious group of orchids came from Messrs. Charlesworth and Co., Heaton, 

 Bradford, and not a little of the beauty of the exhibit was due to the liberal use of 

 maidenhair fern among the plants and a backing of fairly dense palms. Three 

 groups of golden oncidiums, O. ompliatus majus and O. Marshallianum, were 

 staged along the top, and had the pretty effect of chains of gold ; around these
