Cypripedium insigne, in Small Pots.— Calling the other day on Mr. 

 Thos. Crosswell, gardener at " Homewood," Beckenham, I was shown six 

 plants in gin. pots carrying foliage one yard through, as perfect in form as 

 a well-dressed chrysanthemum bloom. The flowers were large and well- 

 developed, averaging about fifty — the one I counted gave fifty-eight, three 

 being twins. The blooms are not staked, but grow out from the foliage in 

 a natural manner, giving a circumference of 12ft. These plants have not 

 been potted for eight or nine years, consequently they are fed on farm 

 drainage, Clay's fertiliser, soot water, and guano — weak and often. These 

 six plants occupy the whole of one side of a span-roofed house, furnishing a 

 supply of choice cut flowers for a long period ; some useful plants in 411111. 

 pots are carrying nine good blooms.— M. W. in Journal of Horticulture.
