lip is rather darker than the sepals and petals, and the throat of the deepest 
yellow. They fully rival the best Cattleyas in their brilliancy. 
Three fine Odontoglossums are sent from the collection of J. Leemann, 
Esq., Heaton Mersey, by Mr. Edge. O. crispum Sappho is a large and 
beautiful white form, bearing numerous small light purple spots along the 
centre of the sepals and petals, with a few larger ones on the lip. O.c. 
Rita is one of those numerous forms in which the segments are strongly 
suffused with purple, and each bears several largish brown blotches. The 
third is a good form of O. X Adriane in which the sepals and petals are 
heavily blotched with very dark purple, and the lip bears one large blotch 
in front of the crest, and several smaller ones on the sides.

This journal has just re-appeared, after a lapse of six weeks, owing to 
the death of Mr. James W. Withers, business manager of the publication, 
and the winding up of the American Garden Publishing Company. The 
paper has been acquired by a syndicate, including Mr. Thomas B. Meehan, 
of Philadelphia, and it is intended to continue it as a weekly journal of 
American horticulture and improve its status. Mr. Leonard Baron is 
retained as Editor, and we wish our contemporary increased success.
