Juty, 1909] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 223 
Two sprays of a very fine form of Brassia verrucosa are sent from the 
collection of Sir Benjamin Scott, Linden House, Stanwix, Carlisle. The 
plants are said to have been in the collection for eighteen years, and bloom 
very freely. They are beautifully-grown examples of this graceful species. 
ORCHIDS FROM WALTON GRANGE. 
SEVERAL beautiful flowers are sent from the collection of W. Thompson, 
Esq., Walton Grange, Stone, including the richly-blotched Odontoglossum 
x Rolfeze Walton Grange var., and Mr. Stevens remarks that he has never 
seen another form that comes near it for colour or distinct markings. 
There are two seedlings of O. xX armainvillierense, having a few purple 
spots on the sepals and lip, one of them having a very round flower with 
broad segments. The others are two Odontioda Vuylstekez (C. Noetzliana 
x O. Pescatorei), differing greatly in colour. One may be described as 
scarlet with a very few splashes of yellow, chiefly on the lip, while in the 
other the lip and margins of the sepals and petals are light yellow with only 
a light scarlet marbling, the latter colour being mostly limited to the 
central area, giving a very pretty effect. The plants are six years old, and 
are now flowering for the first time. Mr. Stevens remarks that the O. 
Vuylstekez Crawshayanum, for which Mr. Crawshay received a First-class 
Certificate from the R.H.S. on May 18th last (ante, p. 176) came out of the 
same batch. It is interesting to see the amount of variation from the same 
capsule.

Wednesday, July 6th and 7th. The following meeting will be held at the 
Royal Horticultural Hall, Vincent Square, Westminster, on July 2oth, when 
the Orchid Committee will meet at the usual hour, 12 o’clock noon. The

We have not yet received the dates of the Manchester & North of 
England Orchid Society for the coming year, but we learn that it commences 
with a meeting on July 1st. _It will be seen by the report at page 214 that 
a series of Cup competitions have again been arranged, one being the Ward 
Cup for amateurs who do not employ a gardener. 
It is with regret that we have to announce the dissolution of the old and 
well-known firm of Messrs. Hugh Low & Co., formerly of Clapton, and 
recently of Bush Hill Park, Enfield. By a deed, dated June 15th, 1909, the 
partnership between Stuart Henry Low and Edward Valentine Low has 
been dissolved, and by mutual consent neither of the parties will carry on 
business under the oldname. Mr. Stuart H. Low will in future carry on
