May, togtt.| THE ORCHID KEVIEW. 139 
many fine specimens of white Cattleyas, for which the collection is noted, 
amongst which are the unique C. gigas White Queen (F.C.C., R.H.S.), 
C. g. Frau Melanie Beyrodt, C. g. R. Ashworth, C. g. King Edward VII., C. g. 
Wilderspool variety, C. Warneri alba, C. intertexta alba, a lovely hybrid 
between C. Warneri alba and C. Mossiw Wageneri, C. speciosissima alba, 
C.s. alba var. Empress, C.s. Stanleyi, and the unique variety, C.s. memoria 
Wayriniana. The two latter were in flower, enabling one to judge of their 
distinctness. There were also several plants of C. Gaskelliana alba with 
almost as many leads as bulbs—in fact, one was pointed out pushing three 
leads from one bulb, which I think is proof of the vigour of the plants as 
grown here. There were also several varieties of C. Hardyana alba, C. H. 
The Grand Duke, C. H. Queen Alexandra, and C. aurea alba. Several very 
fine plants of C. Mrs. Myra Peters and C. Suzanne Hye were also pushing 
clean young growths, quite small plants pushing three new leads. 
The other occupants of the house included two fine plants of L. tenebrosa 
Walton Grange variety, and the intense-coloured L. t. Charlesworthii. 
Leliocattleyas are also thoroughly represented, and include the stock of 
L.-c. Our Queen, with such varieties as Canhamiana alba, C. Rex, 
Aphrodite, A. alba, A. Orchidhurst variety, A. Mark Hambourg, Fascinator 
King Edward VII., Fascinator Star of the North, Martinetii nobilior, 
perhaps the richest-coloured L.-c. Martinetii yet flowered, also several very 
fine plants of the superb L.-c. Ivernia variety Muriel Wilson, L.-c. St. 
Gothard var. splendidissima, several very fine L.-c. Dominiana, and the 
lovely L.-c. C. G. Roebling, one plant of which is pushing up three spikes of 
bloom, and should make a fine show. 
Among Cattleyas which are not albinos in this house, mention should be 
made of the lovely C. eSchofieldiana Hessle variety, C. Venus var. King 
Manoel, C. Rhoda conspicua, and many others. The side stages are 
occupied chiefly with Cattleya gigas, which flower well every year. Leelio- 
cattleya callistoglossa is represented by such varieties as ignescens, excelsa, 
and splendens, L.-c. callosa magnifica, and others. Among the white 
Cattleyas some thirteen or so Cattleya Dusseldorfii variety Undine were 
observed pushing up their chaste white flowers. At one end stood several 
very fine plants of C. Bowringiana, including Wild’s variety, Hessle variety 
(very fine), and concolor. 
On one side of the roof was to be found a good batch of Brassocattleyas, 
which includes B.-c. Veitchii and var. Queen Alexandra, heatonensis, 
Thorntoni and its variety The Queen, Marie, Maronz, Digbyano-Mendeli 
Hessle variety, which is represented by some ten plants, Fourniere, 
Leemanniz, and numerous others. Brassocatlelia Veitchii was pushing 
up two spikes of flowers, and other Brassocatlelias being Rowena and 
Edgar Wigan.
