262 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [SePTEMBER, 190). 
ORCHIDS AT FAIRLAWN, PUTNEY. 
WE have recently had the pleasure of seeing the collection of H. S. Good- 
son, Esq., situated at West Hill, Putney, and a few notes may be interest- 
ing, as they supplement those taken in the previous autumn by Mr. J. M. 
Black (O.R. xiv., pp. 353-356). Our notes chiefly relate to the plants seen, 
as other details have been so recently given. 
In the large Odontoglossum house we saw a number of O. crispum in 
bloom, mostly of the unspotted type, and a few of them very promising. 
Most of them were small plants, flowering for the first time, but among the 
larger established plants several good spikes of bloom were noticed, includ- 
ing examples with twelve and thirteen flowers, one of these being a very 
pretty light blush pink form. The flowering of such a batch of plants will 
afford a good opportunity for selection, as otherwise a great deal more 
room would be required. A couple of capsules were noticed heré, and a 
plant of O. x amabile with eight buds, also the graceful O. citrosmum, 
while several of the hybrids that have so recently come to the front were 
pointed out, though not then in bloom, There were four good plants of 
the rare Maxillaria venusta in bloom, one having five flowers and buds, the 
brilliant Cochlioda Neetzliana, a good Cymbidium Lowianum, Oncidium 
macranthum, the very distinct O. dasytyle, and a few other interesting 
things. 
In another house we noticed several examples of Odontoglossum 
crispum and Pescatorei in bloom, with O. luteopurpureum, and examples 
of Lycaste Deppei and L. aromatica. A good batch of L. Skinneri was 
pointed out as containing some good varieties. 
Near by was a small Warm house, where, among other things, we 
noticed some frames devoted to seedlings, 
a few experiments in this direc- 
tion having been made. 
The handsome Bifrenaria Harrisonie was in 
bloom, and we were particularly interested to see a plant of the rare 
Dendrobium Williamsianum in bud. 
A house chiefly devoted to Dendr 
; obiums and Cypripediums contains @ 
lot of interesting things, 
particularly among the latter, where we noted in 
» Curtisii, X superciliare, x Swani- 
A plant of C. Sanderianum was in thriving condition, 
and near by were examples of C. callosum Sanderz and other things too 
numerous to mention. 
Cattleyas and Leelio-cattleyas are extensively grown, and in one of the 
houses we noticed good examples of C. Warscewiczii (gigas) and C. 
Mendelii, C. M. var. Herbert Goodson being a pretty blush pink form with 
the front of the lip rich crimson. C. X Fabia Goodsoni and numerous 
others were in sheath, and we noted numerous unflowered seedlings of 
anum, and others.
