JaNuaRY, 1922.] THE ORCHID’ REVIEW. 15; 
addition to their use for cut-flower purposes, serve as foils to several well- 
grown plants of C. imsigne Sandere, Maudie, Actus, Antinous, 
Dreadnought, Lion, and Bianca. Suspended from the roof of this house 
are some plants of Cattleya citrina and Vanda Watsoni. 
Cymbidiums are represented by numerous species and hybrids at one 
end of the Odontoglossum house. Sobralias thrive at the cool end of the 
warm corridor, and Aérides, Saccolabiums and several allied genera are 
placed with the Vanda suavis. Altogether a well balanced and carefully 
arranged collection, the vigorous health of the plants testifying to the 
assiduity and constant care of Mr. Watson, and Mr. Field, who carries out 
the practical part of the cultivation. 
This article would be incomplete if no mention was made of the fact 
that the prominent and noteworthy position now held by the Bletchley 
Park collection, is very much due to the personal supervision and skilful 
attention given by Mr. E. Cooper, of Messrs. Sanders, St. Albans.. 
Possessing a knowledge of Orchids that is as extensive botanically as it is 
complete in methods of cultivation, it is always his pleasure to render 
assistance to the many amateurs who seek his advice. 
Since the above article was written, Mr. Field has relinquished his position 
in the Bletchley Gardens, his successor being Mr. Chambers, who was previ- 
ously with Mr. E. V. Low, and in charge of other collections. E<.T. 
OrcHIDs AT DeEvizeEs.—Considerable success has been achieved with 
various Orchids in the collection of J. Frederick Phipp, Esq., at Devizes.. 
Among the Cypripediums that have recently bloomed profusely are C.. 
insigne Sandere and the Harefield Hall variety of this species, the elegant 
C. Maudie, ©. Leeanum and other hybrids of C. Spicerianum, a robust 
plant of C. villosum type, as well as Selenipediums. A small plant of 
Cattleya labiata carried eight finely-developed flowers, and the pretty 
Epidendrum vitellinum autumnale produced an erect spike with many 
flowers of cinnabar-orange colour. Evidence of the fine effect produced by 
the above plants is given in a photograph, the centre plant in which is a 
beautiful seedling between Lc. Colmaniana and Slc. Helen, of dark rose- 
colour and with the richly-coloured lip prettily frilled. Orchids grown to: 
this state of perfection not only give considerable pleasure to their owner 
and cultivator, but are an encouragement to all who see them.

PESCATOREAS.—These plants are easily grown if they get the treatment 
required, but they are often killed by not having sufficient heat and moisture.. 
They succeed best in the warmest end of the East Indian house, with water 
all the year round, for they never seem to require any rest. The attention. 
that may be given then will be well repaid.—Williams’ Orchid Manual,
