CYPRIPEDIUM BELLATULUM TWO-FLOWERED. 
I send you a two-flowered inflorescence of Cypripedium bellatulum 
which is very interesting. I possess two plants out of a recent importa- 
tion, and they are exactly similar in shape, colouring, &c. I believe a 
third plant has produced a two-flowered inflorescence, so am inclined to 
think that possibly this peculiarity may be permanent. I know not from 
what district they come, but may say that I believe many good varieties 
will come out of the importation, as the plants have exceptionally long 
and broad leaves. O. O. WRIGLEY. 
Bridge Hall, Bury, Lancashire. 
(The other flowers were subsequently sent, and bear out Mr. Wrigley’s 
remarks. The flowers are smaller than usual, very dark, and have a 
very distinctive appearance. It will be interesting to note whether the 
peculiarity repeats itself at a future flowering.—ED.| 
CALENDAR OF OPERATIONS FOR AUGUST. 
By H. A. Burberry, Highbury, Moor Green, Birmingham. 
In the Cool House the general management continues the same as advised 
in the Calendar for June, simply keeping the temperature as low as possible 
night and day, and the atmosphere heavily charged with moisture; at the 
same time seeing that the plants are free from insects, a work which 
involves a considerable amount of time and perseverance at this hot season. 
This house usually contains, in addition to Odontoglossom crispum, O. 
Pescatorei, and other allied species, a collection of miscellaneous Orchids, 
most of which will by now have been looked to and put in condition for 
growing. Oncidium concolor, having now passed out of bloom, should 
be repotted if not already done. It is a very pretty Oncidium and well worth 
cultivating. It does best in shallow hanging pans, in a compost of peat and 
sphagnum. Odontoglossom ramosissimum, O. Edwardii, O. Uro-Skinneri, 
and Oncidium macranthum are amongst those kinds now pushing up flower 
spikes, which should be protected from slugs.
