324 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
Williamsii, L. autumnalis alba, L. Gouldiana, and L. x Crawshayana were 
each represented by a fine specimen, in spike. A fine plant of Miltonia 
Schreederiana was doing nicely suspended in a basket. 
We were next ushered into a warmer department occupied principally 
by Vandas, a shelf forty feet long of Calanthes, with pseudobulbs often six 
inches or more long, and the warm growing Cypripedia, which embrace 
many hundred plants, species, and hybrids, with seedlings in various stages 
of development. C. Charlesworthii was in flower in variety, a fine specimen 
of C. x Morganiz carried seven large spikes, besides which we noted the 
following fine forms as we passed through:—C. Chamberlainianum, in 
variety, C. Dayanum, C. Elliottianum, C. prestans, C. Stonei, a specimen 
over three feet through, C. x Alice, C. x Allenianum, C. x Arthurianum 
pulchellum, C. x conco-Lawre, C. x De Witt Smith, C. x Hurrellianum 
(Curtisii x Argus), a very handsome hybrid with large drooping heavily 
spotted petals, C. x imperiale,C. x Josephianum (Druryi x javanico- 
superbiens), C. x Leeanum superbum in. an eighteen inch pan, C. x 
microchilum, C. x macropterum, C. x Marshallianum, C. x Mrs. 
Warren Hooke, C. x Niobe in variety, C. x Robinsonianum, and many 
others. Among Selenipediums we observed S, reticulatum, a fine form of 
S. X grande, and its variety macrochilum. 
Coelogyne pandurata two feet across, and Bollea ccelestis alba were each 
fine specimens doing nicely, though not in bloom. The Vandeze were 
represented by many well-grown plants, though very few were in flower. 
Saccolabium cceleste carried two fine spikes of chaste blue and white 
flowers, a few Vanda tricolor were blooming to perfection, and suspended 
at the end of the house was a fine basket of V. Sanderiana with four healthy 
growths and as many fine spikes, containing in ail forty buds and expanded 
blooms, producing a grand effect. 
The Cattleyas occupy a house sixty feet long, these are Mr. Roebling’s 
pets, and neither money nor pains have been spared to make this a leading 
collection. It excels in albino forms, and among them we noticed Cattleya 
Aclandiz alba (a recent addition), C. choccensis alba, C. Eldorado virginalis, 
C, Gaskelliana alba, with four leads, C. intermedia alba, four leads, C. 
Lueddemanniana alba, C. Mendelii Bluntii, C. Mossiz alba, four leads, C. 
M. Reineckiana, several plants, C. Skinneri alba, C. Trianze alba and C. 
T. virginalis, a large plant with nine spathes, C. Schroederz alba, five leads, 
Lelia Perrinii alba, L. purpurata Mandaiana, and many others. 
Many fine sorts were flowering. C. Alexandra: was well represented by 
many spikes, often two feet long and three- to five-flowered, the waxy 
cinnamon-coloured sepals and petals, and soft rose-lilac lip, giving them.a 
pleasing combination. C. labiata was at its best, many dozen blooms being 
fully expanded, varying to some extent in each plant represented. C. 
‘Walkerianas was showing well, in many instances the plants were blooming
