JunNE, 1907.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 191 
NOTES. 
Two meetings of the R.H.S. will be held at the Royal Horticultural Hall, 
‘Vincent Square, Westminster, during June, on the r1th and 25th, when the 
Orchid Committee will meet at the usual hour, 12 o’clock noon. 
The Manchester and North of England Orchid Society will hold a 
meeting at the Coal Exchange, Manchester, on June 13th. The Orchid 
‘Committee meets at noon, and the exhibits are open to inspection from one 
to three p.m. At this meeting arrangements for the coming year will be 
‘made. 
It is with the deepest regret that we have to announce the death of Dr. 
Maxwell T. Masters, F.R.S., the highly esteemed editor of the Gardener's 
‘Chronicle for the last forty-two years. The deceased, who was in his seventy- 
fifth year, had been ill for about four weeks with pleurisy, terminating in 
‘pneumonia, and the end came from heart failure on Thursday evening, May 
30th. Next month we hope to say something about his career. 
Several beautiful flowers are sent from the collection of G. M. Jessop, 
Esq., Cliffe Cottage, Rawdon, Leeds, by Mr. Wilkinson. There is a good 
form of Cattleya Schroedere, and a beautiful white variety called Fairy 
Queen, Dendrobium nobile albiflorum, having white sepals and petals with 
the usual coloured lip, the prettily fringed D. Loddigesii, and a flower of 
the rare D. albosanguineum. Lastly there is a very interesting hybrid 
between Lelia xanthina ¢ and Brassavola Digbyana ¢, for which we 
-suggest the name Brassolelia Jessopii. The flower is fairly intermediate in 
shape, and has a prettily fringed lip, the colour being light greenish yellow. 
A photograph showing a very beautiful group of Cattleya Trianz varieties 
is sent from the collection of C. C. Moore, Esq., Hackensack, New Jersey, 
U.S.A. It shows the usual amount of variation, and some of the varieties 
‘are very fine. Photographs of the exterior of the house in summer and 
-winter are also sent, and the latter shows the house covered with snow and 
wreathed with icicles, the photograph having been taken during a spell of 
severe weather.
