CATTLE YA WARSCE WICZII. 



In the Orchid Ri.vii u of Juno, 1903, you reproduced a photograph of one 

 of my plants of Cattleya Schrosderae (O.K., xi., p. 177, fig. 36), and at the 

 same time made inquiry as to whether special treatment had been given. 

 I now send you a series of photographs of Cattleya gigas that I have been 

 permitted to take. These plants were grown at " Onunda," Madison, the 

 beautiful estate of I). Willis James, Esq., whose gardener is Mr. W. Duck- 

 ham, and where many things besides Cattleyas are well grown. Photograph 



Fig. 38. Cattleya Warscewiczii. 



No. 1 is of a plant of Cattleya gigas in a 14 inch basket, and carrying 60 

 large flowers. No. 2 is of a small plant of 10 bulbs and one lead. It had 

 a gigantic spray of 10 immense flowers, all of which finished perfectly. 

 No. 3 shows the same spike taken larger. No. 4 is a plant that had 4 

 sprays of flowers numbering respectively 5, 7, 8, and 9, whilst No. 5 

 shows a plant that bore two sprays of 7 and 8 flowers. These were the 

 selected examples from a batch all well grown and flowered.
