126 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [JuLy-Aucust, 1919, 
group, containing many brilliant Cattleyas and Lzliocattleyas, some well- 
bloomed Vanda teres, a very fine series of Odontiodas, Miltonias and 
Odontoglossums, and a charming series of the Cypripedium niveum group. 
Among interesting things noted were a good example of Ccelogyne 
pandurata, Anguloa Cliftonii, thé violet-blue Zygopetalum maxillare, 
Odontioda Sunbeam and Diana, and others too numerous to mention. The 
plants were very effectively arranged in undulating banks. 
Cut blooms of Orchids from different people were also included in a sale 
of flowers, fruit, vegetables, &c., on behalf of this very deserving fund.
