CATTLEYA WARSCEWICZII 
ALBA. 
The adjoining" 
reproduction of a 
photograph of this 
wonderful plant 
gives an excellent 
idea of its beauty. 
The sepals, petals 
and lip are pure 
white, the only 
trace of colour 
being a little 
greenish-yellow in 
the throat. It is 
the rarest of all 
the albino Catt- 
leyas, and is, we 
believe, the first 
pure white variety 
of this species to 
be recorded. At 
the great Orchid 
show held at Bos- 
ton, Mas.s., May 
26th, 1 9 10, It was 
d e s e r \- e d 1 y 
awarded a Gold 
Medal by the Mas- 
sachusetts Horti- 
cultural Society 
when exhibited by Messrs. Lager and Hurrell, 
Summit, N.J., U.S.A.

SELENIPEDIUM MRS. WASHINGTON 
A. ROEBLING. 
A photograph of this very strikmg and 
beautiful .Selenipedium has recently been 
received. It is a hybrid raised from S. cauda- 
tum X .S. leucorrhodum, and Messrs. Lager 
and Hurrell, who have the plant in their 
possession, are of opinion that more of these 
plants should be grown. S. leucorrhodum is 
a hybrid obtained by crossing S. longifolium 
with -S. Schlimii and better known as S. 
Sedenii.
