270 THE ORCHID REVIEW. (SEPTEMBER, 1923 
petals, but a coloured lip. It was from this lot that the superb variety 
called President Wilson appeared in 1918 and received a First-class 
Certificate at the R.H.S. Cattleya Our Prince (aurea x King George) 
‘was only named last year, but several most promising varieties have already 
flowered and proved that some distinct yellow-flowering hybrids will be 
-added to the long list of aurea crosses. Another praiseworthy batch is to 
-be seen in Cattleya Tagus (Rhoda x King George), many of which are now 
an sheath, and also in Cattleya Eleanore, a beautiful hybrid produced by 
crossing Hardyana with Warscewiczii var. F. M. Beyrodt. Mention may 
also be made here of C. Gravesiana alba, in this case produced by crossing 
Mossia Wageneri with Lueddemanniana var. Empress, both parents being 
pure-white. Another example of how some of the earlier crosses are being 
re-made can be seen in Le. Colmaniana, with the Rosita variety of 
Dowiana and Le. callistoglossa as parents. 
After passing through the corridor, the visitor enters a large house 
having one side entirely filled with hybrids of Cattleya Tityus (Enid X 
‘Octave Doin). As evidence of the value of Tityus it is only necessary to 
‘mention the following well-known results : Cattleya Heatherwood (Mossize 
x Tityus), G. P. Walker (Mendelii x Tityus), Dr. M. Lacroze (Octave 
Doin X Tityus), and Prince Shimadzu (Hardyana xX Tityus), all of which 
have been raised in recent years by Messrs. Flory & Black. 
The Leliocattleyas embrace a remarkable series that extends from the 
historic Le. Dominiana to present-day hybrids of grand form and brilliant 
‘colour. There are handsome varieties of Lc. Carmencita (luminosa aurea 
x Dowiana aurea), and of Le. Jaquenetta (Lc. Lustre x C. Empress 
Frederick), also of Lc. Radiant, the latter cream coloured with a dark 
purple lip. Others in flower included C. Sibyl, as well as several in a batch 
that have been raised from yellow-flowering parents. A long span-roofed 
house is devoted to a number of interesting Brassavola hybrids, such as 
‘C. Triane X Be. Cliftonii magnifica, in which the second use of Trianz is 
expected to yield a flower of fine formation. There are numerous 
Brassavola hybrids containing white parents, and results already achieved 
lead one to anticipate finer things being seen in the near future. Among 
the albino varieties of species are Cattleya labiata alba var. Mrs. E. 
Ashworth, and Lelia pumila alba, the latter raised from seed. An elegant 
albino hybrid exists in Cattleya Helen Langley, the segments of this being 
particularly thick in texture. At the time these notes were made the 
greater part of one house was occupied with a large batch of selected plants 
that were being prepared for shipment to America. 
Cypripediums are cultivated along the side staging of a lean-to house, as 
well as in shady areas of other houses. They embrace a large number of 
unflowered plants, and many superb varieties, several of the latter having
