THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
Vot. II.] AUGUST, 1894. [No. 20. 
NOTES. 
Two meetings of the Royal Horticultural Society will be held at the Drill 
Hall, James Street, Westminster, during August, on the 14th and 28th, 
respectively, when the Orchid Committee will meet at the usual hour of 12 
o’clock, noon. 
The sale of the second part of the Pickering Lodge Collection of Orchids 
took place on July 11th and 12th, and though not so well attended as the 
previous one, some good prices were realised, and many lots sold for three 
guineas and upwards. Cattleya Mendelii Bluntii fetched too guineas; 
Lelia crispa superba, a magnificent specimen, 52 guineas; Sobralia 
Lucasiana, a fine specimen, 46 guineas; S. xantholeuca alba, in flower, 44 
guineas; Cattleya Gaskelliana alba, in flower, 38 guineas; Dendrobium 
Statterianum, 20 guineas ; Cypripedium superbiens, 15 guineas, and several 
plants of Miltonia vexillaria superba from Io guineas and upwards. 
Mr. P. Weathers, formerly traveller for Messrs, Linden, of Brussels, has 
commenced business on his own account at Isleworth, under the title of 
The Orchid Exchange, the object being to enable amateurs to dispose of 
duplicate specimens, &c. Further particulars may be found in our ad- 
vertisement columns. A first list has been issued, from which we note the 
following: Cypripedium Fairieanum, with four growths, 150 guineas; C, 
insigne Sandere, one growth, £70; Lelia Perrinii alba, £50; Cypripedium 
x Fairieano-Lawrenceanum, 30 guineas; C. x vexillarium superbum, 14 
growths, 12 guineas, &c., ranging down to Lycaste cruenta at five shillings. 
Vendors are required to guarantee all plants true to name, so that, if 
properly managed, the new concern should prove useful to collectors.
