278 : THE ORCHID REVIEW. _ (Sgpremper, 1923. 
alba, C. Warneri alba, C. labiata alba, and C. labiata var. Harefield Hall. 
There are also a number of other good things that space will not allow 
detailed descriptions. 
Phalenopses are splendidly grown in a couple of lean-to houses._.They 
comprise more than 2,000 plants, principally amabilis, Schilleriana, and) 
Stuartiana, some being really fine pieces. There is also the rare P. 
Veitchiana. I had previously seen some of these plants exhibited at the 
Boston Spring Show, where they were arranged on massive pillars formiug 
a temporary pergola, and making a very attractive and bold effect, both on 
the upright pillars and the cross beams. Vandas are represented by 500: 
plants, many rare varieties being amongst them. 
Dendrobiums are also largely grown, and include roo D: Phalenopsis- 
Schreederianum. There are also 500 plants of Oncidium varicosum 
Rogersii, a similar number of O. splendidum, nearly as many of Lycaste 
Skinneri, and other members of the genus, some 250 Masdevallia plants, 
many of botanical interest, while the collection of Miltonias totals 120, the: 
numerous varieties including the rare M. Bleuana var. Reine.Elizabeth. A 
whole house is devoted to Cymbidiums, many of which’are the newer hybrids, 
and there is also a huge plant of C. Lowianum var. Baron Schréder. 
Much more could be written on this interesting and ever-increasing 
collection, for in one house alone I saw between three and four thousand 
Cattleya hybrids as yet unflowered. I leave it to the imagination of the 
readers what this means to an amateur—at least a fascination growing 
stronger day by day as the plants approach their flowering size. This 
collection is housed in 18 span-roofed houses, each aft. by 2oft., andi 
approached by a central corridor planted with Cymbidiums: and Ferns. 
which seem to agree well with each other. 
I was met by Mr. Pocock, the superintendent, who was. trained under 
Mr. W. P. Bound and Mr. J.Collier at Gatton Park, and who has charge of 
this vast assemblage of more than 25,000 plants. This choice and varied 
collection has been built up by Mr. Burrage in a very few years. His deep 
interest and concern for Orchidology is a lasting monument in the United 
States. As President of the New Orchid Society he is a great pillar of 
strength to its existence, and with such a leader the cult of the Orchid in 
the United States is an assured success. Visitors to his. collection at 
Orchidvale, now: recognised as the Mecca of Orchid enthusiasts, are sure of 
a warm welcome, for permission is readily granted to all who are interested. 
I am pleased to say that I found Mr. G. I’Anson, so well-known to: 
British Orchidists, quite happy in the land of his adoption. He is still in 
the employ of Mr. Burrage, and has’ =o been one by him to 
visit aripe for business purposes. A.G. Ei
