model shape in C. Clotho var. Leeana, which has for its parents C. Enid 
and C. Triane. 
When Cattleya Hentschelii made its appearance in 1919, it was evident 
that the crossing of Dupreana with Warscewiczii was a successful combina- 
tion, and would lead to further fine hybrids being seen. In the Claygate 
Lodge collection, this hybrid is represented by a specially fine variety called 
The Premier. C. Enid and C. Octave Doin are both hybrids of recognised 
merit, and when crossed they yield the beautiful C. Tityus, a hybrid which 
is well represented here by a very brightly coloured variety named Osiris, 
and by another called Imperator. Probably the finest of all the Cattleyas 
is C. Corydon (armainvilli-rensis X Trianz), which bears flowers nine 
inches across, with segments of perfect formation, of a rich rosy-mauve 
colour in the sepals and petals, and the labellum ruby-crimson. It created 
quite a sensation when exhibited at the Royal Horticultural Society, 
May gth, 1922. The popular C. Portia is well represented, and C. Venus, 
which is generally a difficult subject to cultivate, grows here with astonish- 
ing vigour. Many of the Cattleyas have made a couple of growths during 
the past season, and a notable example of this excellent culture is to be seen 
inC. Falco. A superb Cattleya is to be seen in C. King George, which 
received a First-class Certificate when first seen at the Royal Horticultural 
Society in September, 1915. Its parentage is aurea X triumphans (aurea 
x Rex), and the flower is a beautiful one, being clear nankeen yellow in the 
sepals and petals, and with a ruby-crimson labellum veined all over with 
yellow. Among the species is the handsome C. Warscewiczii Boltonii, C. 
Trianz var., Edgar Knight, and selected varieties of C. Mendelii. 
Lelia purpurata has been the parent of several handsome hybrids, and 
in few cases have its characters been better utilised than in Leliocattleya 
callistoglossa, which is well represented in this collection. In Le. Athene 
(Le. callistoglossa x Le. St. Gothard) there exists a meritorious hybrid 
possessing a remarkable constitution, and in Lec. Serbia majestica (C. 
Enid x Lc. St. Gothard) there is another free-growing hybrid which 
Produced a spike of five very large flowers of dark colour. Lc. Ivernia and 
Lc. Feronia magnifica (C. Enid X Lc. Haroldiana) are also worthy of 
inclusion in the list of choice varieties to be seen in this promising 
collection. Of all the numerous hybrids in this section few have given such 
fine results as Lc. Schrodere, produced by crossing C. Maggie Raphael alba 
with Le. Bella alba; in the variety Victrix, which has recently flowered in 
this house, the cream-white sepals and petals considerably enhance the 
tichness of the purple coloured labellum. Of late Score several elegant 
hybrids have been seen with Lelia pumila contained in the parentage. 
This Lelia produces its flower spike without any protecting sheath, and it 
is always a matter of interest to note in what degree this well-known
