294 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
ORCHIDS AT ENFIELD. 
CapTon has been so long associated with the name of Messrs. Hugh Low 
and Co. that it seems difficult to separate them. Leases, however, have a 
habit of running out, and, owing to this cause, the firm have now removed 
entirely to their newer establishment at Bush Hill Park, Enfield, where, in 
consequence, extensive additions have recently been made. The other day 
we had the pleasure of inspecting this establishment and embraced the 
opportunity of taking a few notes. 
About thirty houses are devoted to Orchids, some of them being of great 
length, and filled with healthy plants ranging from newly imported stuff up 
to those fully established; the stock of those kinds most in request being 
enormous. Commencing with the Phalznopsis house, which is built in 
two divisions side by side without a dividing wall, on the Belgian plan, we 
found the plants in excellent condition, some of the leaves of P. Schilleriana 
being of great size. Examples of P. amabilis and Aphrodite were nicely in 
bloom, also many plants of Miltonia Roezlii. We also noted a fine hybrid 
between Cypripedium Rothschildianum and Dayanum, most like the 
former in many respects, but lighter in colour, and with the long cilia and 
staminode approaching the latter. 
In the Dendrobium house we found D. Dearei well in flower. Vanda 
Hookeriana planted here grows well, but suffers from the general complaint 
of not flowering. In an adjoiniug Cypripedium house we found a lot of 
C. X cenanthum superbum in bloom, and very effective it is, also the fine 
C. X enfieldense, x picturatum, Chamberlainianum, x Io, X javanico- 
superbiens, X Charles Canham, x Godefroyz leucochilum, the beautiful 
bellatulum album, callosum, x T. W. Bond, and others, forming a very 
pleasing display. The rockwork in the next house was gay with a combina- 
tion of Odontoglossum crispum, Lindleyanum, Brassia verrucosa, Disa 
grandiflora, Oncidium crispum, macranthum, and others. This method of 
arranging Orchids in flower, with a few graceful foliage plants, is most 
effective wherever met with. 
Next we visited two long Odontoglossum houses, in which we noted 
some good O. Harryanum in bloom, O. Edwardii throwing up a very fine 
panicle, a fine O. x Coradinei with eleven flowers, a lot of O. Pescatorei 
in bud, and among numerous examples of O. crispum in flower was one 
with clear yellow spots on the petals, almost the counterpart of O. c. 
xanthotes. After passing through a large house of Cattleyas, and others, 
we were again among the Odontos, and noted a good O. Insleayi with two 
spikes, and a fine batch of Miltonia vexillaria, of course not now in flower. 
In the Lycaste house we found L. Rossiana in flower, also plants of 
Trichopilia fragans, after which we passed through a house containing
