THE ORCHID REVIEW. 343 
exceptional, the different lots averaging between £3 and £4 each. The first 
two days’ sale realised over £2,500, among the principal buyers being Mr. 
F. Hardy, Mr. T. Statter, Mr. E. Ashworth, Mr. G. Ball, Messrs. Veitch, 
and other nurserymen. The best price realised was for Cypripedium insigne 
Sandere (figured at page 41). It was a small healthy plant in a four-inch 
pot, which was purchased from Messrs. Sander by the late Mr. Hardy, a 
fortnight before his death, for the sum of 100 guineas. The bidding com- 
menced at this particular figure and ultimately reached 260 guineas, at 
which price it was knocked down to Mr. F. Hardy. A fine plant of Lzlio- 
cattleya x bella fetched 150 guineas, and a smaller one 75 guineas, while 
L.-c. x callistoglossa went for 59 guineas. Cattleya Schroeder alba was 
knocked down at 160 guineas, C. Mossi Reineckiana (said to be the original 
plant) at 75 guineas, a plant of C. x Hardyana in indifferent health at 70 
guineas, while its variety Massaiana realised 100 guineas.. A white Sobralia 
fetched 50 guineas, Lelia x Tresederiana superba 22 guineas, while other 
choice things also fetched good prices. These facts indicate the character 
of the collection, which contained few indifferent things ; and also the grow- 
ing demand for choice varieties among the rapidly increasing band of Orchid 
amateurs.
