294 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [OcToBER, 1923. 
ORCHIDS AT GRAFTON HOUSE, WEST BRIDGEFORD, 
NOTTINGHAM. 
A Grafton House, West Bridgeford, the residence of L. O. Trivett, Esq., 
an ardent collector of Orchids, is to be found an exceedingly well 
selected assemblage of these plants. Containing over 600 plants, the 
collection is accommodated in one three-quarter span house divided into 
three sections. 
In the first section are to be found a number of miscellaneous Cypripe™ 
diums of the insigne type grown for cut-flower purposes. In the second, 
which is heated as an intermediate house, there are many interesting 
inmates, mainly Cypripediums and Cattleyas. Among the Cattleyas and 
Leliocattleyas, hybrids and unnamed seedlings predominate. Fine forms of 
C. labiata alba, C. bicolor, C. Mrs. Pitt, and several strong plants of C: 
Soramis (Empress Frederick X Mendelii), which Mr. Trivett considers one 
of the finest things in the collection. Brassocattleya Windsor, Lelio- 
cattleya Martinetti and most of the well-known Leliocattleyas were 
noticed. 
A particularly good lot of Dendrobiums are suspended above the centre 
path, among them being D. Ainsworthii, D. Sir F. W. Moore, and a 
representative collection of D. nobile varieties that includes most of the 
best forms. The opposite side of the house is devoted to Cypripediums, in 
which Mr. Trivett is especially interested. Noteworthy plants are The 
Cardinal, Antinous, several varieties of Euryades, including Charlesworth’s, 
Victoria Marie, tonsum, Lord Derby, Tityus, Princess Ena, Morganiz, Ian 
Hamilton, Calypso Oakwood variety, callosum var. Wm. Matthews, 
numerous named varieties of insigne and Leeanum, as well as a healthy 
batch of Maudie growing in pots filled simply with sphagnum moss. At 
the end is a fine specimen of Ccelogyne Massangeana, several good plants 
of Brassia verrucosa, Chysis bractescens, and the pretty Odontoglossum 
citrosmum. 
In the third division, maintained as a cool house, and devoted in the 
/main to Odontoglossums and Cymbidiums, some especially interesting 
things are to be found, including two strong plants of the choice Odonto- 
glossum amabile augustum, which came from the collection of the late Mr. 
Edmund Berrey, and when purchased some years ago at Chelsea Show as @ 
small plant cost 150 guineas. Other notable Odontoglossums are O. 
Thwaitesii var. Louis Trivett (ardentissimum var. Mrs. N. Cookson X 
Harryanum), promerens, Clytie, Phoebe magnificum, Queen Alexandra, 
Wilckeanum, rosefieldiense, Aireworth, and triumphans var. latisepalum. 
In addition, there is quite a wide selection of Odontiodas, such as Beryl, 
Bradshawie, Vuylstekez, etc. The Cymbidiums, which Mr. Trivett
