of this display. 
Messrs. Armstrong and Brown, Tunbridge 
Wells, came out strongly with a large and 
beautiful exhibit set up in their best style. 
Masses of Cymbidium Lowianum marked the 
top corners, and fine spikes of Phalaenopsis 
Eimestadiana arranged over Odontoglossum 
terestiing green and black flowers; the quaint 
Bulbophyllum Ericessoni, Odontioda Chan¬ 
ticleer, Odontoglossum eximum Armstrongae, 
with red-purple flowers on white ground; 
and Miltonia vexillaria G. D. Owen. 
Mr. C. F. Waters, Balcombe, Sussex, had 
a low group that was pleasing to look upon 
after the many other high arrangements. 
He presented a host of light varieties of 
Odontoglossum crispum, forms of Lycaste 
Skinneri, Cattleya Mendeli, and C. Mossiae, 
with a few renantheras, etc.

Odontioda Bradshawiae, 0. Rosefieldense, O. 
Charlesworthi, O. Vuylestekeae, white odonto¬ 
glossums and Miltonia Bleuana were beauti¬ 
fully grouped over ferns. A pair of good 
specimens of Ccelogyne Dayana were set high 
in the bays, and their long pendulous spikes 
hung over groupings of Laelio-cattleya 
Hyeana, L.-c. Mrs. Temple, L.-c. eximia, 
L.-e. Fascinator (a fine lot), Brasso-cattleya 
Veitchi, B.-c. Leemannae, and B.-c. Lang-

alba, Ccelogyne pandurata, with its ever in- 
Dixon’s group of orchids, tall odontoglos¬ 
sums were also used at the back with choicer 
varieties, and some pretty odontiodas in 
front. Miltonias were well represented, and 
so were orange-coloured laelio-cattleyas. 
Messrs. J. and A. McBean, Cooksbridge, 
had. an extremely pretty exhibit that was 
also a large and handsome one. This firm 
grows odontoglossums grandly, and on this 
occasion used lovely spikes of light forms of 
O. crispum in great numbers, massing them 
at the back, ends, and centre, with grand 
groupings of Cattleya Mossiee in the bays. 
Right in the front was a whole host of bril¬ 
liant odontiodas and special odontoglossums.
