A house of Miltonias made a brilliant display. with M. vexillaria in the

Bulbophyllums, Erias, Dendrobium Jamesianum, Oncidium  unicorne, 
Maxillaria Sanderiana, Ccelogyne speciosa, Dendrochilum _latifolium, 
Microstylis congesta and Wallichii, and others in bloom which considera-

Botanical Magazine. It was over fifty-two years ago, but that day remaims 
as one of his most cherished memories.
