ODONTOGLOSSUM SEEDLINGS AT BRUSSELS. 
Our last issue contained (page 27) an account of several beautiful seedling 
Odontoglossums received from M. Lucien Linden, Brussels. M. Linden 
now sends a fine series of photographs, showing the remarkable progress 
that has been made in raising these beautiful plants. Five of them show _ 
the interiors of different houses, where the seedlings in the aggregate run 
into thousands, in fact one shows a group of three thousand seedlings, the 
larger with four or five leaves, but the majority smaller. They have been 
pricked off many together on average-sized pots. About half of these 
are described as O. crispum seedlings, the result of intercrossing various 
choice varieties. A slightly smaller batch consists of crosses between O. 
crispum and various Miltonias, and these should be particularly interesting, 
for we believe that at present the only Odontonia which has reached the 
flowering stage is the beautiful O. Lairessee. The larger plants are 
crosses between O. crispum and Cochlioda, several dozen in number, and 
these will presumably be forms of Odontioda x Bradshawiz. 
A second photo shows one side of a house of seedlings, one batch 
being labelled Miltonia x Odontoglossum, a second O. crispum, while the 
majority are hybrids between various species of Odontoglossum. A third 
photo shows a lot more seedlings, and a few old plants bearing capsules, 
while a fourth shows a house of seedling plants three to four years old, and 
just on the point of flowering. These two photos show M. Lucien Linden, 
with his foreman, M. Notte, among their plants. <A fifth photo shows 
another house, the plants being slightly further advanced, as a few of 
them are already in bud. 
These photos are accompanied by six others, portraits of individual 
seedlings. O. CRISPUM var. ILLUSTRATUM (O. c. Vinicius x O. c. pur- 
puratum), is a very round flower, said to be 3% inches in diameter, with 
broad segments, which are more than half occu . 
pied by large, very richly- 
coloured blotches. 
It flowered last September. O.c. cotoratum is from 
the same cross, and has rather more pointed sepals and more toothed petals,
