parentage Cattleya Eldorado 2 X Brassavola Digbyana g. The sepals 
and petals of a bright rosy lilac, nearly uniform throughout, and the 
handsomely fringed lip nearly white, with a bright yellow throat, and 
numerous red purple radiating lines extending from the base to near the 
middle. It is finer than would have been expected from the record of 
parentage, the sepals being 2} inches broad, and the marked contrast of 
colour between the tip and the other segments renders it one of the 
handsomest in the group. 
CaTTLEYA X CLAUDIAN is another fine hybrid from the same collection, 
which was purchased some time ago from Messrs. Charlesworth & Co., as 
a seedling from C. Lueddemanniana @ x C. Schilleriana, and flowered 
for the first time a year ago. The inflorescence now sent bears four flowers, 
smaller than those of the natural hybrid C. xX Whitei, but bearing a 
general resemblance to it. The sepals and petals are light rosy-purple and 
the strongly three-lobed lip is dark purple on the front lobe and tips of the 
side lobes, but paler behind, with a little yellow in the throat. 
La&Lio-CaTTLEYA X HiLpa.—The intercrossing of Lelia Boothiana 
and Cattleya Lawrenceana should produce a richly coloured hybrid, 
bearing a considerable resemblance to both parents in shape. Another fine 
hybrid from the same collection is believed to have this parentage, though 
the record obtained with the seedling was ‘‘ Boothiana X aurea,” which, 
however, was seen to be erroneous, so far as the second parent was 
concerned, as soon as the flowers expanded. But the seed parent has all 
the appearance of being correct, and Mr. Mackay remarks that the characters 
of C. Lawrenceana are strongly in evidence. The flower is bright rose- 
purple, with the lip of a considerably darker shade, and the shape about 
intermediate. It flowered for the first time a year ago, and is now a hand- 
some thing. 
CATTLEYA X KATHERIN®.—This is a handsome hybrid raised in the 
collection of E. V. R. Thayer, Esq., S. Lancaster, Mass., by Mr. Orpet, 
from C. Warneri 2? and C. Schroedere alba ¢, and flowered in the spring 
of 1902 from seeds sown in April, 1897. It is described in American 
Gardening, 1903, p- 134. A number of plants are now in flower, and are 
said not to deviate much from the original, except a little in depth of 
colour. The plant is said to resemble C. Schreederz, except that the bulb 
is rather more ancipitous, and the leaf broader at the base. The flowers 
are very fragrant, the sepals and petals of a soft pale lilac colour, and the 
lip nearly white, but shading into lilac at the margin, with a chrome yellow 
blotch in the throat, veined with white. It is a very beautiful hybrid. 
EpIDENDRUM xX Bounpi.—This is a brilliantly coloured hybrid, 
raised in the collection of J. Colman, Esq., Gatton Park, Reigate, by 
Mr. W. P. Bound, from E. radicans ? and E. X Burtoni ¢. The seed
