ORCHIDS AT DUSSELDORF. 



Ax Orchid exhibition has just been held at Dusseldorf, on the Rhine. The 

 chief exhibits came " naturally," so says the " Kolnische Volkzeitung," from 

 abroad, as the cultivation of Orchids has not yet been so systematically 

 taken up in the Fatherland as in England, France and Belgium. These 

 three countries have sent some very valuable exhibits. The chief German 

 collection came from the largest Orchid cultivator in the Empire, Herr Otto 

 Beyrodt, of Berlin. Baron von Fiirstenberg, who lives near Dusseldorf, and 

 the Grand Duke of Baden were among the contributors.— Journal of 

 Horticulture. 



A correspondent of the Gardener's Chronicle remarks that the promoters 

 of the Orchid display held at the Dusseldorf International Exhibition, on 

 September 3rd to 6th may be congratulated on the result of their efforts, 

 for there was a splendid collection of Orchids exhibited. The display 

 showed how hybrid Cattleyas and Laelio-cattleyas are contributing to make 

 Orchid flowers more numerous in autumn than they have ever been at 

 that season. From the amateurs came several very fine groups staged with 

 good effect. 



Baron Fiirstenberg, Mintaris, near Dusseldorf, staged a fine group of 

 showy varieties as well as a collection of botanical species, among the 

 plants noted being two very fine plants of Laelio-cattleya X elegans 

 Turneri, L.-c. X bletchleyensis, Cypripedium Chamberlainianum, Cattleya 

 X Iris,Phalaenopsis amabilis and its variety Rimestadiana, P. rosea, Epiden- 

 drum cochleatum, Rodriguezia decora, Pachystoma Thomsonianum, &c. 



M. Firmin Lambeau, Brussels, sent a grand collection, including 

 Cattleya X Harrisoniana alba, C. Mossis alba, C. X Pittiana, C. X 

 Atalanta, C. Gaskelliana alba, Laelio-cattleya X bletchleyensis, L.-c. X 

 Admiral Dewey, Arachnanthe Lowii, a very fine plant of Miltonia vexillaria, 

 Cypripedium X Frau Ida Brandt, C. X memoria Moensii, &c.
