278 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
NURSERY NOTES. 
In looking through the houses of Messrs. B. S. Williams and Son, 
Victoria and Paradise Nurseries, Upper Holloway, a short time ago, we 
observed a number of fine Orchids in flower, though the principal ones were 
over for the season. Cypripedium x ceanthum superbum was flowering in 
quantity, showing what a fine thing it is. C. x vexillarium, C. x selligerum 
majus, good plants of C. x superciliare and C. superbiens, the singular C. 
tonsum, and others were out, C. Charlesworthii being in bud. A fine 
Oncidium crispum was in flower, the rare O. anthocrene, O. ampliatum 
majus, O. pulvinatum, and O. macranthum, together with several Odonto- 
glossums, as O. hastilabium, a good light form of O. ramosissimum, the 
yellow O. Schlieperianum flavidum, and various others, while a good plant of 
QO. Wallisii, had six spikes in bud. Several plants of the charming Cochlioda 
Neetzliana attracted attention; also the pretty Lelia monophylla, the 
distinct Broughtonia sanguinea, Cattleya Warscewiczii, Disa x Veitchi, 
-Trichopilia Galeottiana, and the pretty blue Saccolabium cceleste, while the 
list could be very much extended. We saw a fine pod of Cattleya Dowiana 
aurea crossed with C. Warscewiczii, so that we may expect to see the 
parentage of C. x Hardyana proved in several collections in due time. 
ONCIDIUM AMPLIATUM MAJUS. 
A magnificent specimen of this fine Orchid has flowered in the collection 
of Wilfrid Marshall, Esq., Norton Manor, Taunton. It produced in May 
and June last thirty-two spikes, from five to nearly six feet high, and an 
aggregate of about six thousand flowers. It is from the same importation 
as the splendid mass exhibited by Messrs. F. Sander and Co., St. Albans, at 
the last Temple Show, and was even larger when purchased, as part of it 
had to be removed in order to get it into the largest sized pot on the place. 
A figure, reproduced from a photograph, appears in the Gardeners’ Magazine 
for August 11th last.
