248 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [AUGUST, 1909. 
In the front of a stove we found a number of Cattleyas, &c., with a few 
others hanging up, and noticed in bloom examples of C. Lawrenceana, C, 
intermedia alba and Leliocattleya highburiensis. We also observed good 
plants of Oncidium Lanceanum, O. splendidum and O. ampliatum. 
The Odontoglossum house is new and very well arranged, and the plants 
were in good condition. We noted a lot of O. crispum, of which a few 
were in bloom, with examples of O. Edwardii and O. triumphans. 
Lycaste Skinneri is a great favourite with Mr. Wrigley, and in great 
demand for cut flowers, one side of a house being devoted to a large batch 
of them, all in the most vigorous health, and one bulb measured as much as 
six inches long. In this connection we may mention the beautiful plant of 
L. Skinneri alba, which was figured at page 113 of our last volume. Both 
this and various fine coloured forms were well represented. Anguloa 
Clowesii grows very well with the Lycastes. The other side of the house 
was devoted to Cypripediums, all the plants being in robust health, and 
including a lot of C. X nitens, X Hera, and various other winter-blooming 
kinds, for which the collection is famous. 
Another Cypripedium house is largely devoted to choice forms of C. 
insigne and its hybrids, which all appear strong and healthy, and among a 
few others we noted in bloom a good C. X Beeckmanii, C. glaucophyllum, 
some good C. x Maudie, about a dozen and a half fine blooms of C. 
- Mastersianum, a favourite kind, C. X Mabeliz, several good C. X gigas 
Corndeanii, and a lot of C. X Gowerianum. Some seed capsules were also 
noticed here. 
In other houses we saw a lot of C. Argus and C. x Maudie in bloom, 
with examples of C. callosum Sandere, C. x Phoebus, C. barbatum, C. 
Lawrenceanum, C. L. Owenianum, a very beautiful form with greyish-white 
marbled leaves, C. X Katharine, a pretty hybrid from C. callosum Sanderze 
and C. superbiens, with various others which must be passed over. We 
also noted a lot of seedlings, and may recall the fact that hybridising has 
been carried on here for a good many years. . 
One side of a Pelargonium house was devoted to Odontoglossum grande, 
and the plants are said to have been grown here for twenty years. A few 
nice plants of O. grande aureum were pointed out, and we saw an example 
of Bifrenaria Harrisone in bloom. In the next house we saw a lot of 
Odontoglossum crispum and some good Cymbidiums. | 
We then came to a Warm Cypripedium house and found C. Rothschildi- 
anum in bloom, with many C. barbatum, x Gowerianum, Lawrenceanum, 
and its richly-coloured variety atrorubens, also some C. niveum, which is 
doing well in a compost of loam and tufa. C. bellatulum album was in 
bud. Some Ancectochili were grown in a small frame. 
The Dendrobiums were doing well suspended from the roof, and we
