Nov.-Dec., 19: 7.| THE ORCHID - REVIEW. 261 
commemorated in Leliocattleya Wrigleyi (C. Bowringiana X L. anceps), 
which is also figured (O.R., viii. p. 145, flg. 24), and Cypripedium Wrigleyi 
(villosum xX Charlesworthii). It will be remembered that our last volume 
was dedicated to Mr. Wrigley. 
Space would fail us to mention Mr. Wrigley’s numerous benefactions to 
the institutions of Bury, but there is a long and interesting account in the 
Bury Times of October 13th, from which we learn that he was Bury’s 
earliest freeman, and that he had been a magistrate of the Bury County 
Division for upwards of thirty years. Mr. Wrigley, who has been a 
widower for some years, leaves a son and two daughters to mourn his loss. 
We are indebted to Miss Constance Wrigley, and to Mr. Rogers, who has 
long had charge of the collection, for some of the above facts. The 
collection is to be disposed of at some future date. 
Evyyan Asworta.—This well-known and highly-respected Orchidist 
passed away at his residence, Harefield Hall, Wilmslow, on October 18th, 
in his 77th year. The Harefield Hall collection has long been famous in 
the Manchester district, for Mr. Ashworth was an enthusiastic cultivator, 
and gained many medals and certificates at the Manchester Shows. He 
was also an occasional exhibitor in London, and has been a member of the 
Orchid Committee of the Royal Horticultural Society for the last eighteen 
years. He was Chairman of the Manchester Orchid Society from 1906 to 
I9g11. Some eight or nine houses were devoted to Orchids, and the plants 
were well grown, as we have had the pleasure of seeing on more than one 
occasion. Perhaps the most famous Orchid in the collection was the fine 
Harefield Hall variety of Cypripedium insigne, but other varieties of well- 
known species could be mentioned, and among them the silver-white Lelia 
Jongheana Ashworthii, Cattleya labiata elegans and Mrs. E. Ashworth, 
two beautiful whites, with a purple blotch on the front of the lip, and 
the blotched Odontoglossum crispum Ashworthianum, each of the three 
latter having received a First-class Certificate from the R.H.S. Plants of 
the rare Trevoria Chloris may also be mentioned, and we were much 
interested to see, in the Odontoglossum house, the violet-blue Dendrobium 
Victoria-Regina and the pretty little Epidendrum Endresii, both blooming 
freely. Mr. Ashworth was also interested in hybridisation, and a house of 
seedling Cypripediums was an object of interest at one of our visits; also a 
batch of Cattleya Schroeder alba X amethystoglossa alba. Among the 
hybrids raised may be mentioned the fine Dendrobium Arthur-Ashworth, 
derived from D. Brymerianum and D. pulchellum. Mr. Ashworth’s name 
is commemorated in Cypripedium Ashworthii, a hybrid raised by Messrs. 
Sander from C. Measuresianum and C. Spicerianum. Accounts of the 
collection, which, we understand, is to be sold, will be found in our earlier 
volumes (viii. pp. 181-182 ; Xvill. pp- 282-284).
