ORCHIDS FROM HESSLE. 
WE have received a beautiful series of Cypripediums from the collection of 
W. P. Burkinshaw, Esq., Hessle, E. Yorks (gr. Mr. J. T. Barker). 
Specially noteworthy among them is a fine twin-flowered scape of C. 
Euryades New Hall Hey var., having the dorsal sepal heavily blotched 
with dark purple on a white ground, and richly-coloured petals and lip. 
The shape is good, and as the green of the dorsal sepal is reduced to a small 
area at the base, it should make an excellent parent for hybridising from. 
C. Euryades King Edward VII. has a very dark, heavily-blotched dorsal 
sepal, recalling C. Boxallii atratum. It was raised in the collection. C. 
Chantecleer Hessle var. (insigne Harefield Hall var. x Thalia) is a very 
fine form, also raised in the collection, and having the dorsal sepal nearly 
three inches across, and very heavily blotched with purple on a white 
ground, with a small green basal area, and the petals broadly dilated at the 
apex, and suffused with purple. The clear white C. Boltonii is represented by 
a two-flowered scape, other fine things being C. aureum Surprise, C. Minos 
Youngii, C. Thompsonii magnificum, C. insigne Sanderianum, C. Leeanum 
Lavertonianum, C. chrysotoxum Victor, and C. Euryades Hessle var. A 
flower of C. insigne Harefield Hall var. is also enclosed, in which the lip 
has failed to free itself from the column, and thus is curiously crumpled up 
—probably an accidental occurrence. Other interesting things are the 
pure white Leeliocattleya Boylei var. Kerchovee, a very charming thing, 
Brassocattleya Edgar Wigan, and a white form of B.-c. Veitchii (C. 
Mossiz bellissima x B. Digbyana), a fine form, but not quite so pure in 
colour as var. Queen Alexandra. They form a very beautiful series, 
and illustrate the decorative value of the plants during the dull winter 
months. " :
