 seven plants of C. calloso-Rothschildianum 

 (F.C.C., July loth, i(jo6), the very distinct

 the latter being a 

 very fine hybrid 

 raised from C. 

 Annie Measures x 

 C. bellatulum. It 

 received a First- 

 class Certificate, October i8th, 1904. As may 

 be expected in such a representative collection 

 many of the rare albino forms are to be seen 

 in large specimens. 



The collection of Laslias and Cattleyas 

 contains many of the finest forms of the 

 leading species and hybrids. Cattleya Men- 

 delii "J. Gurney Fowler" is one of the finest 

 forms of this species in existence. There are 

 large plants of Cattleya Rosa Leemann, C. 

 Mantinii, C. labiata Amesiana, C. Trian^, C. 

 Schroderae Fowler's variety, C. intermedia

In other houses almost entirely devoted to 

 Orchids may be 

 seen a large plant 

 of Eulophiella 

 Peetersiana, the 

 new Anguloa Clif- 

 tonii, good varieties 

 of Lycaste Skinneri 

 and L . B a 1 1 i ae 

 superba, Zygope- 

 talum Perrenoudii, 

 Sobralia macrantha 

 alba which has just 

 carried no less than 

 350 flowers, many 

 varieties of Thunias, 

 the rare Aracnanthe 

 Rohaniana to which 

 a First-class Cer- 

 tificate was granted 

 on October 15th, 

 1 907, the very scarce 

 Ncomoorea irrorata, 

 a selection of the 

 best Stanhopeas 

 growing in baskets, many excellent specimens 

 of Phalasnopsis, and a number of healthy 

 plants of Vanda teres. 



Of this multitude of plants it may truly be 

 said that they all show ample evidence of the 

 many correct items of culture which are be- 

 stowed on them by Mr. J. Davis. 



In concluding these comparatively short 

 notes on such an important collection, it seems 

 hardly necessary to call to memory the fact 

 that Mr. J. Gurney Fowler, besides holding 

 many other important positions, is Chairman 

 of the forthcoming International Exhibition,
