FEBRUARY, 1908, | THE ORCHID REVIEW. 53 
glass, to give the flowers every chance of developing properly. Give 
sufficient water to prevent the bulbs from shrivelling. 
BLINDS AND SHADING should be got ready for use towards the end of 
the month, as the Cypripediums, Phalzenopsis, and Odontoglossums are all 
the better for a little shade on a bright day. 
VENTILATION.—Great care must be taken during the coming month, as 
a sudden fall in the temperature is very harmful to the plants. 
TEMPERATURES for the month should be kept as nearly as follows, due 
regard being taken of the state of the weather :-— 
Cool house—-Night, 50°; day 60°, with sun heat. 
Intermediate house—Night, 55°; day, 65°, with sun heat. 
Cool Cypripedium house—Night, 58°; day, 65° to 70°, with sun see 
Warm Cypripedium house—Night, 65°; day, 75°, with sun heat. 
East Indian house—Night, 65°; day, 80°, with sun heat. 
Cattleya house—Night, 60° ; day, 70°, with sun heat. 
CYPRIPEDES FROM BRIDGE HALL, BURY. 
A FEW more interesting seedling Cypripedes have been sent from the 
collection of O. O. Wrigley, Esq., Bridge Hall, Bury (gr. Mr. Rogers) 
C. X memoria Moensii X Charlesworthii is a very pretty flower, having a 
roundish white dorsal sepal, tinged with green at the base, and lined with 
light purple to about the middle, while the light greenish petals were more 
or less lined with brown and dotted at the base. The original Spicerianum 
character comes-out very clearly. A seedling from C. X Mons. de Curte 
and C. Argus has the petals and dorsal sepal regularly blotched with purple 
brown, the blotches of the former being arranged in lines. It is said to be 
the best ofa batch of many seedlings. C. X Leeanum giganteum X insigne 
Sandere is a small seedling flowering for the first time. It is called C. x 
Actzeus Wrigleyanum, and is a light-coloured form with good shape and of 
much promise. C. Mastersianum X Sallieri is a richly-coloured flower, and 
fairly intermediate in shape. The purple lines on the dorsal sepal are 
almost confluent in the centre, and become somewhat dotted at the margin, 
while the petals bear numerous dark blotches on their lower halves. C. 
Mastersianum x villosum is alsoa richly coloured flower, of good shape 
and highly polished surface. The dorsal sepal is rich brown with a light 
green margin and apex, while the lip and petals most resemble C. villosum 
except in being nearly horizontal. The same hybrid has been recorded 
under the name of C. Masters-villosum. C. X Lathamianum xX _insigne 
Sanderianum, which will rank asa form of C. X Garrett A. Hobart, is a 
pretty insigne-like flower with well-blotched dorsal sepal. C. X Sallieri Xx 
cenanthum should be a form of C. X triumphans, but the mother is so 
closely reproduced that we cannot help wondering if the cross was effective.
