142 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
CONTINENTAL NOTES. 
On calling at the establishment of M. Peeters, 62, Chaussee de Forest, 
Brussels, the other day to see the Orchids, the most noticeable plant in 
bloom was Eulophiella Peetersiana, with a spike of 6 feet high, and a 
compact cluster of 26 flowers, each single flower something like a fine, 
broad petalled Cattleya Harrison. It was, if I remember right, very much 
lighter in colour than Sir Trevor’s plant exhibited last year, having more of 
a purplish rose, and much more compact in the cluster, the flowers touching 
each other. It isa grand plant for a large Orchid house, having a most 
imposing appearance and seemingly quite easy to grow in the Cattleya 
house. 
The Odontoglossums were, as usual, doing remarkably well; in one 
house I computed there would be quite 2,000 spikes coming on, and also 
two other houses full of later spikes, with numerous houses all full of 
crispums, but later in growth. The Cattleyas were looking well, but not 
much was in bloom at the time of my visit. 
ODONTOGLOSSUMS AT LoocHRISTY, GHENT. 
The most interesting plants to me were the seedling Odontoglossums 
raised here, some few of which were in bloom. Of O. x loochristiense 
(triumphans X crispum) one or two were flowering, but I cannot say I care 
for it, the flowers being too narrow in the segments, but a beautiful yellow 
colour, with a few spots on the sepals and one or two on the petals. The 
most remarkable was O. X Rolfez, the Harryanum, and Pescatorei cross, 
three or four of which were in bloom, and form a beautiful addition to the 
group. The flowers have a creamy white ground, with the purple markings 
cut up in a most curious way, each flower spike having a distinct pattern of 
its own, but I think one of the best is still the original Rolfe. When 
put into commerce, Odontoglossum growers will have a new feature in their 
houses.

This establishment bids fair to rival the St. Albans Nursery in size and 
compactness. Of course the Azaleas, Palms, &c., of which we cannot take 
any note, occupy the greater part of the nursery, and the arrangements for 
watering and attention are well carried out in every detail to save labour. 
One Orchid house was filled with the finest lot of Leelia purpurata I ever 
wish to see, strong and robust and full of sheaths. The Odontoglossums 
are not large in size, but houses full to overflo wing with healthy, good stuff 
that gives evidence of good systematic culture.
