THE ORCHID REVIEW. at 
Moensii with brilliantly coloured dorsal sepal, the beautiful P. x Ceres 
Fascinator, and the very richly coloured X William Lloyd, which has been 
out for two months, and received a F. C. C. at the Manchester Chrysanthe- 
mum Show. Flowers of Dendrobium Phalenopsis, Vanda cerulea, 
Oncidium Kramerianum, and others show that there is no lack of flowers at 
this season, and that many of them are highly suited for cutting for 
decorative purposes. 
HYBRIDISING AT BURY. 
THE enclosed particulars of my hybridising work during the past year may 
be of interest. For some reason the year has not been favourable to the 
germination of the seeds, as much seed that was sown has not germinated 
at all. The following is a list of crosses among Cypripedes, sown in 1898, 
from which seedlings have already appeared. I may explain that the names 
in the first column represent the seed-parent, and those in the second the 
pollen-parent, while the numbers in the third column represent the seedlings 
now alive :—

The hybrids are raised from the finest varieties which I possess, or could 
obtain pollen from, so that there should be some good blooms among them, 
if they live to bloom.
