ia Concluded from page 76. aX 
FTER admiring the magnificent display of Dendrobiums, and noting 
K some of the more striking forms, we passed from the Corridor into 
an Odontoglossum house, filled with choice varieties, some of them showing 
remarkable vigour, and including a number in flower or spike, while several 
seed pods told of the experiments in hybridisation that are being carried on. 
There were also batches of small seedlings in thriving condition. Odonto- 
glossum crispum solum was throwing up a very strong spike, and some 
plants of O. Thompsonianum showed remarkable vigour. O. armainvillier- 
ense Starlight and O. Aquitania were throwing up strong spikes, and it was 
interesting to see two healthy plants of the unique O. Smithii. Among 
familiar things in bloom we noted forms of O. excellens, spectabile, and 
armainvillierense, O. Pescatorei with two fine panicles, and a few good 
crispums. O. elegans was on the point of expansion. The rare O. 
Duvivierianum Burford var. was in bloom, and is the subject of a note on 
Page 89. Odontioda was represented by several good things in bloom, and 
among them three plants of the brilliant O. keighleyensis, one being 
exceptionally dark in colour. Sophronitis grandiflora was also noted here, 
including plants bearing seed pods. This house promises a fine display of 
bloom later on. 
In the Cattleya house we found a fine collection of the leading varieties 
and hybrids in thriving condition, those in bloom including forms of C. 
Schreedere and Triane, C. Triane J. Gurney Fowler being a fine rosy 
form with a richly-coloured lip. C. Transylvania is a fine hybrid from C. 
Enid and Trianz, and we noted also in bloom C. Miranda, Leliocattleya 
Mygdon (C. Triane x Le. luminosa), Lc. Myra splendens, Sophrocattleya 
Olive, with three blooms, Sobralia macrantha and others. Here were a 
number of healthy Sobralias, a strong plant of Eulophiella Peetersiana, and 
E. Elisabeth with spikes just showing. A batch of over fifty plants in 
bloom of Miltonia Bleuana made a fine display, and the seedlings, which 
were from the same pod, showed a certain amount of variation. A plant of 
the rare Cattleya Warscewiczii alba was pointed out, and we noticed a 
number of seed pods from which interesting seedlings are expected. 
In the Cypripedium house a good many interesting things were in 
bloom, though the majority were over, as may be judged from the fact that 
Over six hundred flowers had already been cut. Several plants of C. 
aureum varieties Hyeanum, (2dippe, virginale and Surprise were making a 
fine show, and we noted also the handsome C. Leeanum J. Gurney Fowler, 
C. son giganteum, a particularly fine C. villosum, C. Fascinator, C.
