Cypripedium x radiosum Roebling'ianum (Oakes Ames in 

 Amer. Garcl. xxii. p. 669; 28/9/1901).— An "albino" variety of the 

 type raised by Mr. H. T. Clinkaberry, in the Koebling collection, by 

 crossing C. Laiurenceanum Pitcherianum with C. Spiccrianum. It is 

 interesting to note that the dark -coloured var. of C. Laiurenceanum used 

 as a parent produced several highly coloured seedlings, but this one out 

 of the same batch is practically an "albino," the purple colour of the 

 type being replaced by a delicate shade of yellow green. — C. C. H. 



Cypripedium Rothschildianum-Aug-ustum (Bev. Hon. p. 515 ; 

 November 1901). — Cross between C. R. and C.A. Described as a superb 

 vigorous form, with richly marbled foliage and flowers, combining the 

 characters of both parents. One of the finest hybrids yet obtained. 

 Raised by M. Bleu.— C. T. D. 



Cypripedium x Swinburnei, O'Brien (Cogniaux in Diet. Icon. 

 Orch., Cyp. hyb., pi. 48 ; 5/1901). — A hybrid obtained by Messrs. Heath, 

 of Cheltenham, from C. insignc Maiilei ? and C. argus S in 1892.

Cypripedium x Vitazo (Oakes Ames in Amer. Gard. xxii. p. 731 ; 

 26/10/1901). — A new secondary hybrid involving three species, flowered 

 by Mr. A. J. Loveless, of Lenox, Mass., and obtained by crossing C. x 

 Gowerianum (which is itself a hybrid between C. Lawrenceanum and C. 

 Curtisii) and C. CJiarlesivorthii, and, as one might expect, the last species 

 largely predominates. — C. C. H. 



Cypripedium xwyndhurstense (Oakes Ames in Amer. Gard. 

 xxii. p. 731 ; 26/10/1901). — A new secondary hybrid flowered by Mr. 

 A. J. Loveless, of Lenox, Mass., and obtained by crossing C. xEuryale 

 Rohinsonianum with C. Charlcsicorthii. The former parent is from C. 

 Laicrcnceanum and C. supcrhicns, so that three species are involved in 

 the pedigree, and as is usually the case the pure species predominates 

 largely over the hybrid parent. — C. C. H. 



Cypripedium x Youngfiae (Cogniaux in Diet. Icon. Orch., 

 Cyp. Jiyb., pi. 49; 9; 1901). — An interesting new hybrid raised by Mr. 

 Reginald Young, of Liverpool, from C. hcllatulum ? x C. HookcrcB 

 Volontcanum S. Flowers creamy white, densely spotted and suffused 

 with vinous purple. — C. C. H. 



Cyrilla raeemiflora. Anon. (Gard. Mag. 2,508, p. 757 ; 

 23/11/1901). — An illustration and description are given of this evergreen, 

 which is known also as Itea Cyrilla and Cyrilla caroliniana. It is a 

 widely distributed plant, being found in the Southern United States, the 

 West Indies, and Brazil. It belongs to the Erica family and was first 

 introduced in 1765. It may be grown in the open air in the mildest 

 parts of these islands, or in a greenhouse or conservatory. — W. G. 



Dahlia, Autumn Cutting's {Bev. Hort. ip. 4:G1 ; October 1901).— 

 M. Chabanne, Superintendent of the Park Fete d'Or, Lyons, reports 

 success by taking autumn cuttings and placing under glass. Well rooted
