JuLy, 1914.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 205. 
Passing on to another house we found a large batch of Phalaenopsis 
amabilis Rimestadiana with hundreds of spikes, including an albino with 
the spike pure green, a nice lot of P. Aphrodite, Schilleriana, Stuartiana, 
violacea, and the rare P. intermedia Portei in bloom. Laid out under the 
benches was an importation of botanical curiosities, some of which are of 
considerable interest. 
The seedling divisions are very interesting, and contain seedlings in all 
stages, from germinating seeds to plants which every now and then push up: 
asheath. They are all carefully recorded and numbered. The seeds are 
sown in cases, and in bright weather tissue paper is laid over the seedlings. 
to provide additional shading. We noted Cattleya labiata Purity xX 
Gaskelliana alba, C. Hardyana alba xX Warscewiczii Frau Melanie 
Beyrodt, C. Iris x Dowiana, Lelia tenebrosa Walton Grange var. X C. 
Dowiana, L.-c. Haroldiana Bronze King (F.-c. C.) X C. Dowiana, &c. 
But we cannot enumerate them here. To adopt a classic phrase, we must 
“Wait and see.”’ 
At this corner leading out of the Corridor is the packing shed, which is 
well adapted to.the purpose, and where the work was actively in progress. 
At a little distance away, and nearer to the road, is another lot of 
twelve houses, four of them 100 feet long by 22 feet broad, with centre step 
stages for Cattleyas, and here we saw an example of the overhead pipe 
along the centre of the house, a system not often met with in Orchid 
culture. One house is full of C. Mossiz, and another of C. Mendelii, 
many of them in flower and making a fine display. A third is principally 
C. Warscewiczii, many showing sheaths, from which much is expected. 
There was also a batch of C. Gaskelliana, with a few early ones in bloom, 
and a lot of C. Leopoldii, amethystoglossa, Ciarkii, Atalanta, Miss 
Williams, and others useful for cut flowers or decorative purposes. Lastly, 
the whole of one side was full of Renanthera Imschootiana on both sides of 
the path, with many hundreds of spikes in full bloom, the brilliant crimson 
flowers making a remarkable display. 
The remaining houses are smaller, 75 feet by 113 feet. Two of them are 
devoted to Cypripediums, including C. insigne Sander and Harefield Hall. 
var., in quantity, a lot of C. Maudie, callosum Sandere, Leeanum 
varieties, aureum, Thalia, Gaston Bultel, Germaine Opoix, &c., in fact a 
tepresentative collection of the best hybrids. Among 4 batch of C. 
caudatum several plants were in flower or spike, with its brilliant hybrid 
C. Schroederze. 
Then came a house of Vanda ccerulea, another of Lelia anceps, 
including a representative collection of the best white varieties, with a 
fine batch of Oncidium splendidum, and two houses of Dendrobiums, 
including a great quantity of the large-flowered D. Wardianum Lowianum,.
