ORCHID COMMITTEE. 
Odontoglossum crispum Clio. 
The flowers of this variety are rounded and of good form, 
while the sepals and petals are of soft rosy-purple, with an 
occasional brown blotch on them. Award of Merit to W. 
Thompson, Esq. (gardener, Mr. W. Stevens), Walton Grange, 
Stone, Staffs. 
Odontoglossum nebulosum Gurney Wilson. 
The ground colour of this variety is pure white, and the 
whole surface is thickly, spotted with greenish-purple. _ Of 
the several varieties and allied forms of this particular species, 
this may be considered as one of the finest. Award of Merit 
to Gurney Wilson, Esq., Glenthorn, Haywards Heath. 
FLORAL COMMITTEE. 
Clivia miniata aurea. 
For many years past it has been the desire of raisers to 
procure a yellow Clivia- This has been secured chiefly by the 
washing out of the orange, so to speak, leaving the ground 
colour of a primroseiyellow, deepening to a richer hue at the 
base. This is the most decided yellow variety we have seen, 
but we hope tbe raiser will be able to improve upon it 
by getting broader segments. Award of Merit to Mrs- 
‘ Powys Rogers, Burneloose, Perranwell, R.S.O., Cornwall. 
Saxifraga muscoides Rhei superba. 
The flowers of this variety are of a soft ro'sv-pink 
overlying a white ground, and they are borne on stems 
similar in height to those of Guildford Seedling. Being 
a much taller and stronger grower than S. muscoides 
atropurpurea, it is a veiy valuable recent addition to 
the rock garden. Award of Merit to Messrs. T. S. 
Ware, Limited, Feitham, Middlesex ; and to Mr. G. 
Reutke, The Hardy Plant Nursery, Keston, Kent. Our 
illustration represents this plant as it was commencing 
to flower a short time ago in the nursery of Messrs. 
Ban- and Sons, Long Uitton, Surrey. 
Digitalis cauariensis. 
This, popular Foxglove has shrubby stems 2 ft. to' 
2^ ft. high, bearing a close raceme of flowers on the 
top, and clothed with lanceolate, elliptic, leatheay leaves 
tapering to the base and evergreen. The flowers are of 
a fuscusrorange hue, with a short tube and two gaping 
lips. The upper lip is large, being made up of two 
segments, while the lower lip consists of three narrow 
lobes. Botanical Certificate to Messrs. T. S. W are 1 , Ltd. 
Lomaria Mayii 
The fronds of this bold and handsome Lomaria on the plant 
shown were about 21- ft. long and 9 in. to 1 14 in. at the widest 
part. In texture they are somewhat leathery, with long, 
pointed, linear pinnae'. First-class Certificate to> Mr. H. B 
May, Dyson’s Lane Nursery, Upper Edmonton. 
Nicotiana Sanderae. 
This new hybrid Tobacco plant appeared for the first time 
in public at the Temple Show last year. Since then the 
raisers have been able to test its capabilities in various ways. 
Under glasj it may be flowered quite early in the season by 
special treatment, and produces stems about a yard in heigbt. 
When grown as a hardy annual in the open air the plant isi 
dwarf and bushy, continuing to produce flowers all the season. 
It wasi raised between N. forgetiana. and affinis, and has bright 
carmine-red flowers intermediate in size between those of the 
parent®; and as they are produced in great abundance, the 
plant will be a valuable addition to its class. First-class Cer¬ 
tificate to' Messrs. F. Sander and Sons, St. Albansi 
Carnation Leander. 
The flowers of this variety are 3^ in. across, with broad 
and rounded petals of a rich salmon-red. The plant is a iairly 
tall grower. Award of Merit to' Messrs. Felton and Sons, 
Hanover Square, W. We may here state that about twelve 
years ago a yellow border Carnation was raised and put into 
commerce under the name of Leander. 
Tritonia Prince of Orauge. 
The flower’s, of this variety are light orange, with some trans¬ 
parent patches at the sides, so that it would seem to be a. 
variety of T. fenestrata. Some of these Cape bulbs are very 
beautiful, but more neglected than they should be. Award of 
Merit to Miss Willmott, Wariey Place, Great Warley. 
Onosma albo-roseum. 
The evergreen or persistent leaves of this rock plant are 
densely covered with silky gray hairs. The lower ones are 
oblong, while those at the base of the flowers are lanceolate. 
The flowers themselves are tubular, considerably inflated at 
the top and white, changing to rose with age. If it proves 
hardy, it will be a beautiful and interesting addition to' the 
alpine garden. First-class Certificate to Mr. M. Pritchard, 
Christchurch, Hants. We figured this species in The Garden¬ 
ing World, Vol. XX., p. 445. 
NARCISSUS COMMITTEE. 
Narcissus Englehearti White Ensign. 
The segments of this handsome variety are broad, overlap¬ 
ping, and white. The veiy large flattened and broad crown 
is bright yellow. 
Narcissus Flag of Truce, 
This might be described as an artificially raised hybrid of 
Johnstoni belonging to the Snowdrop type, the segments and 
crown, being white. It is therefore a chaste and choice variety. 
Narcissus Count Visconti. 
This is also a large form of N. Johnstoni, previously den 
scribed in The Gardening World. 
An Award of Merit was granted to each of the above three 
when shown by Miss Willmott. 
Tulip Sir T. Lipton. 
The flowers of this garden variety are bell-shaped, of large 
size and crimson-red, with a wedge-shaped yellow blotch at 
the base, overlaid with pale blue. Award of Merit to Messrs.
