356 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
being very effective. The deciduous Calanthes are also very brilliant. 
Celogyne Rhodeana is a curious little winter-bloomer. Many 
Cypripediums are now in bloom; among them C. xX _ Harrisianum, 
Haynaldianum, x Leeanum and varieties, X Pitcherianum, Victoria-Mariz, 
x Fitchianum, xX Leeanum, and other Spicerianum hybrids. 
Dendrobiums are again coming in season, D. aqueum, X Cassiope, X 
euosmum and cymbidioides, being already in bloom. Several others are 
showing, as D. dicuphum, Findlayanum, nobile and its varieties, x 
splendissimum, and Wardianum. A few Epidendrums are opening, 
amongst which E. ciliare and its varieties should be mentioned. 
Eulophia virens is now opening its curious flowers. Miltonia Roezilii, 
with its scented blossoms, is always beautiful. Phaius mishmiensis has 
pretty, rose-pink flowers. 
Phalenopsis are beginning again to show their flower spikes, as P. 
amabilis, denticulata and Schilleriana. Several Selenipedes are also to be 
seen, as X calurum, X cardinale, longifolia, Roezlii and x Sedeni; and, 
before finishing, let us mention the handsome Saccolabium giganteum 
as showing its spikes. 
We have thus seen, month after month, the floral evolution of our 
favourites, and our monthly look round has helped us to anticipate, to 
some extent, the floral succession of the year.

THE STANLEY IVORINE LABELS. 
A coop durable label, which is at the same time cheap and unbreakable, 
and preserves the legibility of the writing, is a desideratum to growers of 
Orchids and other plants, and these properties are combined in the 
Stanley Ivorine Labels, of which we have received specimens from Messrs. 
John Wilday and Sons, of Birmingham. The material of which they are 
made is admirably suited to the purpose, being light and strong and 
practically indestructible, yet at the same time as white and smooth as 
paper, so that they can be written upon with the greatest facility, both 
with ink and pencil, as we have proved on trial. A special waterproof ink 
is also made which, it is claimed, will stand exposure to all weathers, 
having stood the severest tests. But with an ordinary lead pencil they are 
a vast improvement on wooden labels. They are made in various shapes, 
suitable for wiring to the baskets or sticking in the compost, as may be 
seen on reference to the figures in a notice in our advertisement columns.
