THE ORCHID WORLD.

are now in flower mention must be made of 

 C. Gaston Bultel, a magnificent flower, C. 

 Archie Neill, C. Leeanum Corona, C. 

 Berkeleyanum, C. Dora Crawshaw, and C. 

 Boltonii, an almost pure-white form. With 

 such a large number in flower it is impossible 

 to record more than a few, and words will not 

 adequately describe them or give an idea of 

 the fine effect produced when they aie grown 

 to such perfection. 



Besides many excellent Dendrobiums there 

 are several plants of the wonderful Bulbc- 

 phyllum virescens, the elegant Cymbidium 

 erythrostylum, and other interesting Orchids. 

 The genus Lycaste is well represented, there 

 are good plants of L. Skmneri alba, L. 

 Lucianii superbum, L. Dcppei, and L. Mary 

 Gratrix. 



The above short account of this large 

 collection gives but a comparatively poor idea 

 of the very numerous species and hybrids 

 which it contains, and when it is mentioned 

 that almost every one of these has been 

 brought together during the last three or four 

 years one will have some slight idea of the 

 intense interest which Mr. Holden takes in 

 Orchidology. 



All the cultural details are carried out by 

 Mr. R. Johnson with his customary excellence, 

 and in every section of this large collection 

 there is evidence of his thirty years' experi- 

 ence in Orchid growing. It is a great 

 pleasure to see plants growing so well and 

 producing such excellent floriferous results.

NEW PLANTS. 



SoPHRO - L.ELio - Cattleya Menippe 



(CaTTLEYA HARDYANA X SOPHRO-L.^LIA 

 HEATONENSIS). — In this hybrid another suc- 

 cess has been achieved, the scarlet colour of 

 the Sophronitis grandiflora having created a 

 remarkably rich scarlet-crimson colour on the 

 whole flower, the lip of which strongly 

 resembles in formation that of the Sophronitis 

 species, but, of course, much larger. 

 Exhibited by H. S. Goodson, Esq., at the 

 Royal Horticultural Society, September 26th, 

 igi I. 



Brasso-L/Elio-Cattleya Baucis (L.-C. 



liNTERMEDIO-FLAVA x B.-C. MRS. J. LeE- 

 MANN). — A somewhat disappointing result ; 

 flowers creamy-white and rather small. Ex- 

 hibited by Mons. Maron at the Royal 

 Hort icultural Society, October 24th, igii. 

 Brasso - L.ELIO - Cattleya Truffau- 



TIANA (L.-C. LUMINOSA x B.-C. Mrs. J. 

 Leemann). — A grand hybrid, flowers golden- 

 yellow speckled with purple, the hp mauve, 

 and fringed. Exhibited by Mons. Maron, at 

 the Royal Horticultural Society, October 24th, 

 191 1. 



Sophro-L.t:lio-Cattleya Alice (S.-L. 

 heatonense X c. Mrs. Pitt).— A very 

 pleasing hybrid with rosy-scarlet flowers. 

 The labellum is broad with a wide throat, and 

 shows the yellow colour so often seen in the 

 throat of the latter parent. Raised by Mr. 

 Giles, Orchid grower to F. du Cane Godman, 

 Esq., South Lodge, Horsham. 



L.-elio-Cattleya Steppestediana (C. 

 Luddemanniana X L.-C. Andromeda). — 

 A very bright, golden-yellow flower exhibit- 

 ing promising qualities. Shown by Mons. le 

 Comte Joseph de Hemptinne, St. Denis, 

 Westrem, Ghent, at the Royal Horticultural 

 Society, October 24th, igii. 



L.ELIO - Cattleya Ariadne (L. - C. 

 Alcyone x C. aurea). — The former parent 

 is a hybrid between L. flava and C. Schil- 

 leriana, the desire being to produce a golden- 

 yellow sepaled and petaled flower with a rich- 

 crimson labellum. A good example was 

 shown by E. R. Ashton, Esq., at the Royal 

 Horticultural Society, November 7th, igii. 



L^lio-Cattleya Orient [C. labiata 



X L.-C. ADOLPHUS (L. CINNABARIlSfA x C. 

 ACLANDI^)]. — ^This new hybrid has been 

 raised in the collection of W. H. St. Quintin, 

 Esq., Scampston Hall, Riflington, York, by 

 Mr. F. C. Puddle, who sends a flower with the 

 following note : " You will notice how 

 dominant is the influence of L. cinnabarina. 

 I really made the cross to see if the spots of 

 C. Aclandiae would show more in another 

 generation than they do in L.-C. Adolphus. 

 But in this, the first seedling to flower, the 

 influence of C. Aclandiae seems altogether 

 lost. I have a number of similar plants to
