Vot. II.] OCTOBER, 1894. [No. 22. 
NOTES. 
Two meetings of the Royal Horticultural Society will be held at the Drill 
Hall, James Street, Westminster, during October, on the oth and 23rd, 
respectively, when the Orchid Committee will meet at the usual hour of 12 
o’clock, noon. ae 
On the former date a lecture will be given at 3 p.m., by Mr. E. H. 
Woodhall, entitled “ How to Popularise Orchid Growing.” 
The sale of the remaining portion of the late Mr. George Hardy’s 
collection is announced to take place on October r6th, and following days. 
A plant of Cattleya Trianz is now flowering in the collection of R. I. 
Measures, Esq., Cambridge Lodge, Camberwell, bearing a raceme of five 
flowers. It is a newly-imported plant, and this may account for its bloom- 
ing so curiously out of season. 
A plant of Cypripedium Fairieanum, “over three feet across,’ is men- 
tioned in the Gardeners’ Chronicle for August 25th last (p. 221), as having 
been cultivated at Kew during the time the late Mr. Gower was there. But 
~ can any one confirm the report ? 
A magnificent form of Cattleya Dowiana aurea has just flowered in the 
collection of Hamar Bass, Esq., Byrkley, Burton-on-Trent, of which we 
have received a flower from Mr. Hamilton. The lip is very richly coloured, 
being almost blackish crimson, veined with deep yellow, and the sepals and 
petals uniformly bright yellow, the latter being two and a quarter inches 
broad. !
