166 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [JUNE, 1911. 
Then came a house largely devoted to seedlings of the Cattleya group, 
and about half of one side was devoted to Brassavola Digbyana crosses, one 
charming white form being in bloom, namely, Brassocattleya Maronii alba, 
in which a white C. Mendelii was one of the parents. Some good Dendro- 
bium nobile virginale were in bloom, including the original plant from which 
the large batch of seedlings was raised. Others in bloom were D. chessing- 
tonense, with a fine large form obtained from D. nobile elegans x D. 
Rubens, a plant of Epidendrum Boundii, and several Miltonia Bleuana. 
A lot of Dendrobiums were suspended over the path. 
A cool Cypripedium house followed, containing a large batch of winter- 
blooming kinds, the majority being out of bloom, but promising a fine 
display when the proper time comes. A good C. Victoria-Mari# was in 
bloom, also C. aureum Surprise from the new batch, with a few others. 
Oncidium pulchellum is suspended from the roof here, the plants being six 
years old and in thriving condition, with plenty of spikes pushing up. We 
have seldom seen this species doing so well, and believe that it is often 
grown in too much heat. 
We now came to an Odontoglossum house containing numbers of fine 
things in bloom, including the charming Odontioda Cupid, which was 
described at page 159. We noted a very fine form of Odontoglossum 
mirum (crispum X Wilckeanum), with broad, well-toothed petals, and the 
ground colour white with numerous brown blotches, some good forms of O. 
Fascinator (Adriane X crispum), O. Andersonianum, one having three side 
branches and thirty-one flowers, O. Thompsonianum, a number of the very 
variable O. Adriane, O. eximium, O. loochristiense, O. spectabile, a fine 
home-raised O. Wilckeanum with fifteen flowers, O. Ossulstonii, a fine 
specimen of the charming O. nevium—on which we noticed a seed-pod— 
O. Edwardii, various forms of O. crispum, O. spectabile, O. sceptrum, O. 
warnhamense, &c. A large number of seedlings have been raised in the 
collection, and a constant succession of them are now reaching the flowering 
stage. Among a lot of Odontiodas we may mention a batch of Cochlioda 
Neetzliana X Odontoglossum Cervantesii, about three years old, and in 
thriving condition. There were also plants of Sophronitis grandiflora in 
bloom, and Promenza citrina in bud. 
Another Cattleya house followed, and here again some good things were 
in bloom, including fine forms of Lzliocattleya Olivia, L.-c. Paradise, the 
pretty little Lelia Gwennie, a very brilliant hybrid from Cattleya 
Rothschildiana xX L.-c. George Woodhams, C. Lueddemanniana xX L.-c. 
Greenwoodii, Lelia Jongheana x L.-c. elegans, and others. A very fine 
batch of Cattleya Fabia was pointed out, and here again a lot of seedlings 
were suspended over the paths, in addition to those on the stages. 
Two other warm houses must be passed over quickly ; suffice it to say
