CyYPRIPEDIUMS AT Messrs. ARMSTRONG & Brown’s, ‘TUNBRIDGE 
WELLS.—Very many are in flower, and making a picture well worth seeing. 
Cypripediums are a special weakness of the writer, and always appeal to him, 
perhaps because many years ago one of the first orchids to flower with him 
was a Cypripedium. What a change has taken place in the character of 
these favourite Orchids. Those grown here are of majestic proportions, 
many bearing dorsal sepals undreamt of years ago: the outcome of our 
hybridists’ talent and perseverance. Cypripedium Prince Albert measures 
five inches across the petals and three inches across the dorsal sepal. C. 
Memoria F. M. Ogilvie has the dorsal 34 inches in width, and exists in 
‘several varieties. Others equally fine are C. Lady Dillon and C. Perseus. 
The tessellated foliage forms are a distinct feature, and are well represented, 
right away from the dark green variation to the lighter foliage of C. 
Maudiz type. What may be termed the albino sections are in great force, 
these including C. Boltonii, C. Venus, C. Cupid, C. callosum Sandere, C. 
Helen II. var. Fascinator, and various crosses of C. bellatulum. Yellow 
-Cypripediums are extensively cultivated, and include all the best varieties. 
C. Fairrieanum crosses are shown in old and new varieties, all characteristic 
-of this charming species.—H.A.F
