THE ORCHID WORLD. 



[Xovember, 191 



Brasso-Cattleva Doris. — The result of 

 crossing" B.-C. Mad. Chas. Maron and C. 

 Lord Rothschild, the flower being unusually 

 large. Raised by Messrs. Flory and Black. 



L.i-:lio-Cattleya Soulange. — L.-C. 

 Lustre and C. Dowiana are the parents of 

 this excellent hybrid, which has well-set 

 petals and a large flat hp covered with purple 

 mottling. Raised by Messrs. Flory and Black. 



L.elio-Cattleya Rossettii. — This 

 hybrid between L.-C. Antigone and L.-C. 

 bletchleyensis has been raised by Messrs. 

 Flory and Black, who have recently exhibited 

 a specimen in which the well-expanded 

 labellum is of a beautiful crimson colour. 



Cattleya Cowani.^: alba. — Messrs. J. 

 and A. McBean have achieved a noteworthy 

 success m the production of this elegant 

 hybrid, the result of crossing C. Mossia? 

 Wagenen with C. intertexta Juliettae. C. 

 intertexta is a hybrid between Mossiae and 

 Warncri, and was originally flow^ered hy 

 Messrs. Veitch, March, 1 897 ; the variety 

 Juliettae results from the use of pure white 

 forms of the same species. C. Cowaniae alba 

 inherits the free-growing nature of Warneri 

 to a marked degree, while the flower is larger 

 than C. Mossia; Wageneri, and bolder in habit. 

 Needless to add, all the segments are of the 

 ]wrest white, the throat having the usual 

 orange coloration. It is a valuable addition 

 to the alba section of Cattleyas. 



Cattleya King George.— This very fine 

 hybrid results from the crossing of triumphans 

 and Dowiana Rosita. The golden-yellow 

 sc})als and ])etals are set in upright style, 

 while the large labellum is rich crimson-red 

 with fine gold tracery. C. triumphans is a 

 hybrid between Rex and aurca. Raised by 

 Messrs. Flory and Black, Slough. 



Brasso-Cattleya NODINA. — This is just 

 the hybrid for placing in the front row of a 

 grou]) or staging, being dwarf in habit and 

 free-flowering. It results from the crossing of 

 Brassavola nodosa and Cattleya Enid, the 

 influence of the former species being strongly 

 inherited, as seen in the narrow sepals and 

 ]ietals and the comparatively large and open 

 labellum. The varieties vary from pure white 



to those of light rose 'with darker marbling on 

 the front of the hp. Raised by Messrs. J. 

 and A. McBean. 



L.elio-Cattleya Eileen. -This neat 

 little h}-brid is the result of crossing L.-C. 

 marginata (L. pumila x C. amabilis) with L.-C. 

 callistoglossa. An attractive feature is the 

 bright yellow throat. Raised by Mr. J. Collier 

 in the Gatton Park collection, Surrey. 



L.elio-Cattleya Balmoral. — In the 

 first plant of this hybrid to flower there is a 

 close resemblance to Hardyana, but the 

 crimson border at the apex of the lip is much 

 broader, while the petals are effectively 

 marbled with rose-purple. The parents are 

 C. Hardyana and L.-C. bella. Raised hy 

 Messrs. Sander and Sons. 



L.elio-Cattleya Erica. — By utilising 

 fine varieties of L.-C. St. Gothard and C. 

 Empress Frederick this excellent hybrid has 

 been produced. Exhibited by Mr. J. Gurnev 

 Fowler, R.II.S., October 12th, lyis. 



L.eito-Cattleya Servia. - A model 

 flower, of excellent shape and colour, resulting 

 from the crossing of C. Enid and L.-C. St. 

 Gothard. Raised by Messrs. Charlesworth 

 and Co.

 Priam are the parents of this excellent hybrid, 

 which partakes much of the Fairrieanum 

 habit in the petals and the Spicerianum type 

 m the dorsal, these two species being the 

 parents of Priam. Raised by Messrs. Sander 

 and .Sons. 



OdoNTIODA VULCAN. -This is a pretty 

 h)brid which carried a spike of g crimson 

 coloured flowers, and resulting from the 

 crossing of Od. Clytie (Edwardii x Pescatorei) 

 and C. Nfrtzliana. Raised by Mr. E. J. 

 Hannington in the Chessington collection, 

 Streatham Hill, S.W. 



Sophro-L.elio-Cattleya Diana. — This 

 quaint little hybrid has been raised by Mr. 

 Geo. Day m the Fairlawn collection, Putney.
