CYPRIPEDES FROM BRIDGE HALL, BURY. 
For the last three weeks my Cypripedes have been a great show, as 
there have been about 1,174 in bloom at the same time, and a magnificent 
exhibition they made to my friends and the Orchid lovers of this district 
who came to see them. 
As the time had arrived for me to relieve the plants of their blooms, I 
have ventured to send you a collection of the best forms in my collection, 
as I have had the pleasure of doing on several occasions in past years. You 
will note that the insignes are the most numerous, their hybrids follow next, 
and then you will find a number of hybrids raised from other parents and 
all very choice and beautiful.
