THE ORCHID REVIEW.

NOTES. 
THE next meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society will be held at the 
Drill Hall, James Street, Westminster, on September 8th, when the Orchid 
Committee will meet at the usual hour of 12 o'clock, noon. This will be 
the only meeting during September. 
We regret to learn that the well-known Orchid collection of Charles 
Winn, Esq., The Uplands, Selly Hill, Birmingham, is to be distributed, 
Mr. Winn being relinquishing their cultivation owing to ill-health. 
Mr. Winn is one of the oldest Orchid cultivators in this country, and for 
the last thirty-five years he has been an enthusiastic collector of rare 
Varieties, and a most successful cultivator. During the latter part of the 
time he has paid much attention to hybridising, and the collection contains 
a large number of seedling Dendrobi Cypripedi and others of 
choice Parentage, some of them probably unique. An account of this 
interesting collection is given at page 261 of our second volume. 
The collection has been purchased by Messrs. Charlesworth & Co., of 
Heaton, Bradford, who, we believe, will distribute the plants within io 
Next few weeks, thus affording amateurs of Orchids an opportunity of 
acquiring some choice things. We hope that under He ate ‘a 
distribution the records of parentage of the numerous promising seedlings 
will not be lost. 
A very fine flower of Lzlio-cattleya X callistoglossa has been sent from 
the collection of T. Statter, Esq., Stand Hall, Whitefield, Manchester, by 
Mr. Johnson. It is one of the oldest and best of the group, combining well 
the characters of its parents, Lelia purpurata and Cattleya Warscewiczil.
