suitable growing weather in which to 

 complete their bulbs, it is somewhat doubtful 

 if the check thus given the plants can be 

 repeated the following years without any 

 serious ill effects. 



ODONTOGLOSSUM N/EVROSS. 



(naevium x Rossii.) 



Naturally, one would expect a resemblance 

 to Odontoglossum Fowlerianum (Rossii x 

 cirrhosum) in this, but it is a better thing. 

 Sepals and petals deep rose, the former 

 irregularly spotted with blackish chocolate 

 over their whole area ; the latter similarly 

 coloured, but the area that is spotted is lighter, 

 the spots extending some two<-thirds the 

 length. The lip is darker rose with a white 

 area around the crest. Column light rose, 

 anther cap deep rose. In form it is much like 

 na?vium, and has a slight scent derived from it. 



Blooming from a very small plant it has 

 produced but one flower, but if it should 

 throw many-bloomed spikes it will be a very 

 dainty addition to Messrs. Armstrong and 

 Brown's introductions. — de B. Crawshay,

NEW HYBRIDS. 



Cattleya Clio. — In the recording of this 

 hybrid on page 80 the parentage is incorrectly 

 stated ; it should be Armstrongiae x labiata. 



Cymbidium Queen of Gatton. — A very 

 beautiful result, raised m the collection of Sir 

 Jeremiah Colman, Bart., Gatton Park, Surrey. 

 The vigorous plant carried a spike of 8 rose- 

 pink flowers, the broad lip marked with 

 reddish lines. The parents are Lady Colman 

 and Sanderas. 



Cattleya Phyllis. — One of the most 

 delicately coloured and prettily formed flowers 

 that has yet been raised has recently flowered 

 m the collection of Mr. J. Gurney Fowler, 

 Pembury Kent. The parents are Luedde- 

 manniana Stanleyi and Schroderae, the light 

 rosy-pink tinge being equally distributed 

 throughout the whole flower. 



Cattleya Snowflake. — This valuable 

 acquisition to the albino section has been 

 raised by Messrs. Armstrong and Brown by 

 crossing C. Dusseldorfei Undine with C. 

 labiata alba, the result being a pure white 

 flower of good substance, the plant having a 

 strong constitution. 



L/elio-Cattleya Queen Elizabeth. — 

 Messrs. Flory and Black are the raisers of 

 this attractive hybrid between L.-C. Gottoiana 

 and C. Carmen. 



L/elio-Cattleya Belgica. — The result 

 of crossing L.-C. Henry Greenwood with 

 L.-C. Aphrodite, flowers very broad, with rich 

 purple labellum. Raised by Messrs. .Sander 

 and Sons. 



Brasso-Cattleya Fusilier. — A beauti- 

 ful hybrid, obtained by crossing C. Hardyana 

 and B.-C. Mrs. J. Leemann. The flowers, 

 which are produced during the late autumn 

 and winter months, are of bright coloration, 

 the labellum broad and prettily fringed. 

 Raised by Messrs. Sander and Sons. 



Cypripediums. — The following have been 

 raised by Messrs. Sander and Sons : Seaforth 

 Highlander (Dreadnought x fulshawense) 

 and Nieuport (Hera Euryades x Vandyck). 



Brasso-Cattleya Eileen. — A pretty 

 hybrid between B.-C. Marguerite Fournier (C. 

 labiata x B. Digbyana) and C. labiata. 

 Exhibited by Messrs. A. J. Keeling and Sons, 

 Manchester Orchid Society, December i/th, 

 1914, when it obtained an Award of Merit. 



L.-elio-Cattleya Orpheus. — An attrac- 

 tive hybrid, with reddish-bronze coloured 

 sepals and petals and a well-developed rose- 

 purple labellum. The parents are L.-C. 

 Martinettii and C. Grossii, thus making it a 

 near relative of L.-C. Fred Gott (Martinettii 

 X bicolor). A note on C. Grossii appears in 

 the Orchid World, Vol. IV., p. 35. Raised 

 by Messrs. Armstrong and Brown. 



Cypripedium Rosemary. — This nchly 

 coloured hybrid has been raised by Mr. E. 

 Hill, in the Lyndford Hall collection, Mund- 

 ford, Norfolk. The parents are Hera and 

 aureum, the influence of Spicerianum, derived 

 from the latter parent, producing a pleasing 

 dorsal sepal of excellent shape. 



Odontoglossum Ypres. — The result of
