The dorsal sepal is reticulated with very bright rose, leaving a mottling of 
white, while the lower sepal is much enlarged, and broadly margined with 
the same colour as the dorsal sepal, a very unusual character. A flower of 
the rare Cattleya Walkeriana is also sent.

Mrs. R. B. Tuttle, M. J. Pope, gardener, took ist prize. In the class of one 
Hybrid Orchid, Mr. Clement Moore, of Hackensack, Edgar Knight, 
gardener, won Ist prize.” 
Hybrids of unrecorded parentage are becoming unduly numerous. Many 
such have recently been submitted to us for determination, and in a good 
number of cases there is reason to suspect that the parents are themselves 
of hybrid origin, and it is often impossible to say what they have been 
derived from, and consequently what they ought to be called. We would urge 
that greater care should be taken to preserve Careful records of parentage.
