ORCHID COMMITTEE. 
Cymbidium eburneo-lowianum concolor. 
The parentage of the' original hybrid is expressed in the 
second two name's, which ha.ve been joined together. The 
variety differs in having less, colour. The sepals and petals 
are soft yellow, while the lip has a faint brown blotch at the 
apex, recalling C. lowianum, but the colour has almost dis¬ 
appeared ; hence the varietal name, concolor. First-classi 
Certificate : Five massive flowers were borne by a plant shown 
by Captain Holford (gardener, Mr. A. Chapman), Westonbirt, 
Tetbury, Gloucester. 
Phaius Harold. 
In this instance the parentage was P. Norman x sanderia- 
nus. The lip of this hybrid is dull purple, slightly paler at 
the apex, and intensifying to 1 maroon in the throat, where there 
are three yellow lines running along the centre, and having 
smaller ones diverging from the same. Altogether, it is a 
handsome and apparently strong-growing variety. Award of 
Merit: Norman C. Cookson,.Esq. (gardener, Mr. H. J. Chap¬ 
man), Oakwood, Wylam-on-Tyne. 
Odontoglossum Adrianae Swoboda. 
This variety of the supposed natur al hybrid has small, round 
flowers, notable for the breadth of their segments. The sepals 
are oval or elliptic and rich chocolate, with a, yellow edge and 
apex; usually, also-, there is a. transverse yellow band on the 
centre. The petals have a few large chocolate blotches and a 
white base on which are several smaller spots. The lip is 
white, with a few chocolate blotches more or less joined 
together in front of the crest. It is certainly both pretty and 
distinct. Award of Merit: M. Otto Beyrodt, Marienfelde, 
Berlin. 
Cym. .ium lowgrinum. 
The parentage of this hybrid was C. lowianum x tigrinum, 
of which the name is compounded. The sepals and petals are 
lanceolate and pale fuscus brown. The three-lobed lip has 
pale yellow lateral lobes, while the middle lobe is white, with a 
rich crimson horseshoe-shaped blotch more elongated than in 
the case of C. lowianum. It may be described as pretty. 
Award of Merit: R. I. Measures, Esq. (gardener, Mr. Haddon), 
Cambridge Lodge, Floddem Road, Camberwell. 
FLORAL COMMITTEE. 
Anemone Hepatica alba plena. 
Lovers of hardy plants can find room for almost any variety 
of Hepatica, but particularly the double ones, which are much 
more durable than the single forms in the earlier months of 
the year in open ground, especially in stormy and showery 
weather. That under notice has pure white flowers, and is as 
perfectly double as any with which we are acquainted. First- 
class Certificate : Miss Willmott, V.M.H., Warley Place, Great 
Warley, Essex. 
Incarvillea grandiflora. 
The leaves of this new species are runcinate-pinnatisect, or, 
as gardeners would say, pinnate, and form a rosette springing 
from the rootstock. It is more fibrous than in the case of I. 
Delavavi. The flowers appear to spring singly from the root- 
stock, but they are really in a short raceme of three to six, 
but. have a peculiar method of development. The first flower 
expands on a pedicel about, G in. long, but after it fades the 
common stalk rises up and the other flow lap expand in suc¬ 
cession from its a.pex. The whole plant about this time would 
>e 6 in. to 9 in. high. The flower is of a rich purple, with 
white markings in the throat, and the interior of the tube is 
>ellow. First-class Certificate: Messrs. George Jackman & 
Son, Woking Nursery, Woking, Surrey. 
Boronia megastigma aurea. 
The brown colour of the ordinary or typical form of this 
sweet-scented and favourite flower has entirely disappeared 
from the variety under notice, which occurred as a sport in the 
nursery of Messrs, W. Balchin & Sons, Hassocks, Brighton. 
The outer surface of the flowers is pale creamy-yellow, while 
t lie interior is a deeper and brighter yellow. Award of Merit. 
NARCISSUS COMMITTEE. 
Narcissus Janet Image. 
This type is evidently of hybrid origin, but might be de¬ 
scribed as belonging to- the medium-crowned section. The 
segments are ovate and white, about one-third longer than the 
crown. The crown is slightly plaited, of large size, soft lemon 
colour and veiy pretty. Award of Merit: Messrs, Barr & 
Sons, King Street, Co-vent Garden, 
Narcissus Firelight. 
The segments of this N. incomparabilis form are yellow, 
while the shorter crown is more or less plaited and bright 
Shortia galacifolia. (See p. 296). 
orange. It will be admired for its colour rather than size. 
Award of Merit: Mrs. R. 0. Backhouse', Sutton Court, Hereford. 
Na rcissus Mohican. 
The crown of this variety is intermediate in depth between 
N. poeticus and N. Barri, hut it is red, while the segments are 
white like those of the former, making it a N. Burbidgei. 
Award of Merit: Mrs, R. 0. Backhouse. 
FRUIT AND VEGETABLE COMMITTEE. 
Apole Edward VII. 
This kitchen Apple is the result of crossing Blenheim Orange 
with Golden Noble, and has much of the general aspect of 
the- latter, the colour being similar, while the open eye recalls 
the former. It keeps till March, and the variety is a heavy 
cropper. Award of Merit: Messrs. W. B. Rowe & Sons, 
Worcester.
