Matthewsii, and a rare hybrid 

 between Odontoglossum Uro- 

 Skinneri album and O. bic- 

 tonense album, both parents 

 being also represented by 

 large plants. The Cym- 

 bidiums include Lowianum 

 Pitt's variety and Low- 

 gnnum, the latter now pro- 

 ducing three strong flower- 

 spikes. Miltonia vexillaria 

 grows here almost entirely 

 without spotting of the 

 leaves ; the varieties include 

 many beautiful forms, of 

 which mention must be made 

 of " Queen Alexandra." 



In the Mexican-house are 

 grown the various Anguloas, 

 such as Cliftonii, Ruckeri, 

 and Clowesii, and the man\' 

 select varieties of L.nelia 

 anceps now making a fine 

 display with their long, 

 graceful flower-spikes. 



THE ORCHID WORLD. 



One spacious house is en- 

 tirely devoted to selected 

 varieties of Odontoglossum 

 crispum and Onciclium species, 

 the latter including macran- 

 thum, serratum, and msculp- 

 tum. 



The second Odontoglossum 

 house is entirely filled with 

 exceedingly choice varieties 

 of Odontoglossum crispum. 

 To mention the names of 

 Pittianum, F. K. Sander, Ash- 

 worthianum, Persimmon, and 

 Magnum Bonum is to recall 

 plants which have caused, on 

 their first appearance, intense 

 excitement among other 

 Orchid amateurs. 



The Dendrobium house is 

 just commencing its annual 

 display of bloom ; there is no 

 other Orchid so useful at this 

 time of the year.
