264 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
D. Wardianum and D. Phalznopsis, Miltonia spectabilis Moreliana, doing 
well on blocks, Cypripedium bellatulum and C. Lawrenceanun, fine plants ; 
also Phalznopsis Schilleriana and P. grandiflora, which appear to like the 
situation. 
The whole of the remaining departments forming this range, three in 
number, pricipaily contain cool-growing Orchids, Odontoglossum crispum 
being an especial favourite here ; and when we say that some five thousand 
crispums alone are accommodated, in various stages of growth from newly- 
imported to established plants, some idea may be gleaned of the magnitude 
of the collection and the space required. Some very fine crispums were in 
bloom, many of which were A 1. in point of form and substance, and a 
number of highly-spotted and blotched varieties were also noted amongst 
them. In these houses were also grand examples of Oncidium crispum, 
O. sarcodes, O. macranthum, O. tigrinum, Odontoglossum citrosmum, 
O. Edwardii, O. Hallii, a fine batch of O. grande and O. Insleayi, 
O. Rossii in great variety, and many others. They are arranged on 
step-like stages, running almost parallel with the roof glass, so that each 
plant can be distinctly seen and receive its due share of light and air. 
Passing from this range we enter the connecting large, span-roofed 
house, which is given up to the culture of Lelias and Cattleyas, and 
Intermediate house species generally. Here are a fine lot of Cattleyas 
of the labiata section, including C. Triane, C. Mendelii, C. Mossie, 
C. Gaskelliana, and C. Warscewiczii (gigas). Also such others as 
C. Harrisoniana, C. Loddigesii, C. Schilleriana, C. granulosa and its variety 
Schofieldiana, C. Bowringiana, grand plants of Lelia purpurata, L. tene- 
brosa and L. Digbyana, Leelio-cattleya x Schilleriana, &c. This isa model 
Orchid house, having its centre and side stages, and judging from the 
appearance of the plants well suited to their requirements. 
The next department is the rock fernery before mentioned, but room here 
and there is found for Orchids, without detriment to the ferns. An extra- 
ordinary large specimen of Cymbidium Lowianum in robust health here 
finds a home, and a nice plant of C. Tracyanum was also noted; besides 
which we observed a good batch of Ceelogyne cristata, and a grand plant of 
C. Dayana. 
We now enter the range of three-quarter-span roofed houses, and 
although these are not entirely given up to the cultivation of Orchids, 
many species may there be found, including a fine lot of Cypripediums, 
Coelogynes, Cymbidiums, Mexican Lelias, also a fine specimen of 
L. Cowanii, with Oncidiums and Dendrobiums in great variety. 
Much credit is due to Mr. Baxter’s energetic gardener, Mr. R. Roberts, 
for his successful management of this large and promising collection.
