A seedling, 14 years old, marked C. Mastersianum X Rothschildianum, 
was at last showing a spike, and should prove interesting. C. xX JamesH. 
Veitch was pointed out as curious. It was purchased in flower in 1894, 
but could not be got to bloom again until last year, after a course of 
starving and cool treatment. It grows well and is now represented by four ~ 
plants. A seedling raised in the collection from C. Curtisii x Stonei 
platytzenium is said to be quite different from the preceding. A nice batch of 
seedlings from C. X Harrisianum Xx Fairrieanum was pointed out, and 
here it may be remarked that the last-named species is again well repre- 
sented, and after trials in various houses Mr. Clark is satisfied that it does 
best in intermediate, not cool, temperature. There were many fine 
specimens of different kinds not in flower which riveted attention by their 
robust health. 
Here we noted too the pretty little Dendrobium hercoglossum, the 4 
handsome D. x illustre, with two spikes, the best having eight flowers, 
D. X rhodostoma, Spathoglottis Kimballiana, a fine Phalenopsis amabilis, 
Ccelogyne Massangeana, and various other interesting things. : 
Among the Tropical American species, now referred to Phragmopedilum, _ 
we noted P. X Sedeni and its variety candidulum, the latter with 17 fine 
spikes, half-a-dozen good P. X leucorrhodum, P. X grande, P. X macro- 
chilum, and various others, including a fine specimen of the original P. 
longifolium, which is prized as one of the original parents, the series 
making a fine display. Passing on to another house we noted several 
of the striking Platanthera Susanne beginning to flower, and here the 
original plant of Dendrobium Phalznopsis Schroederianum was pointed out. 
In one of the Odontoglossum houses many interesting things were in 
bloom, including numerous examples of O. Pescatorei and O. crispum. 
O. c. Raymond Crawshay and O. c. Rex were conspicuous among the 
blotched forms, the latter being a fine old variety which always produces 
short spikes of about six or eight flowers almost in a bunch near the top. 
There were several good O. Hallii, the variety xanthodon having a spike of ; 
10 blooms, the crest being yellow and the rest of the lip white. Others 
included the distinct O. ramosissimum, O. Lindleyanum, O. CErstedil, 
O. Rossii, O. x Wilckeanum, and O. triumphans. A plant of the old O- 2 
liliiflorum was pointed out as very difficult to grow. Here were several . 
plants of Cattleya citrina in flower. Formerly they grew indifferently ™ 
the Cattleya house, but they were removed here about ten years ago 0? 
the advice of an American grower, and have succeeded well since. It wa8 _ 
interesting tosee a pure white Orchis maculata here in a pot, and Mr.
