hybrid, which received a First-class Certificate 
from the Royal Horticultural Society when 
exhibited by W. Bolton, Esq., Warrington, on 
November 23rd, igog, is again in flower, and

Cymbidium Tracyanum. — On page 103 of 
cur last number we mentioned a very fine 
variety of this species as being m the Arddar- 
roch collection, and a flower of it has just

the " Grange " variety, and is regarded by 
many to be the finest form yet seen. The
