ERY few collections were more widely known or achieved so much

of satisfaction to learn that many of the Orchids owned by the late Baron 
are now being cultivated by Baron Bruno Schréder, who has recently had 
an extensive range of glass erected near his mansion, Dell Park, Englefield 
Green, Surrey. 
The glass houses are substantially constructed and arranged parallel 
with one another, a,space of about 12 feet between each allows ample 
room for attending to the blinds and any repairs that from time to time 
become necessary. Each of these five houses is 110 feet in length, and 
divided into three sections. Four of them have a width of 13 feet, while 
the central one is 22 feet wide. Connecting these houses isa fine corridor, 
extending to a length of nearly 120 feet, and having a width of over 16 feet ; 
it is of considerable height and undoubtedly one of the largest of its kind.
