NEW PLANTS, FLOWERS, 



AND FRUITS. 



ODONTIODA LATONA, FOWLEK'S VAE. 



A very beautiful orchid with flowers of 

 odontoglossum size. The shapely and attrac- 

 tive blooms have a pale blush ground colour, 

 the mare^ins are rosv-red, while over the 



margins are 

 central areas are large blotches of rich crim- 

 son. The parents of this fine hybrid are 

 Odontioda Bradshawae and Odontoglossum 

 crispo-Harryanum. F.C.C., E.H.S., Decem- 

 ber 3. J. Gurney Fowler, Esq. (gardener, 

 Mr. J. Davis), Glebelands, South Woodford. 



CYPEIPEDIUM EURYBIADES. 



This hybrid between 

 alcibiades bears most 



C . eury ades and C . 

 resemblance to the 



first-named parent, but is more shapely. The 

 large, bold flowers have a broad whit^ dorsal 

 sepal with a green base, and an abundance of 

 dark purple spots. The petals and lap are 

 yellowish, heavily shaded with purple-brown.

 renw, Bart, (grower, Mr. W. H. White), 

 Burford Lodge, Dorking. 



CYPEIPEDIUM VIKING. 



A very C5 ' riking hybrid derived from C. 

 Buchanianum and C. illustre. The bright 



PEUNUS MIQUELIANA. 



Though not a new species, this is one littk 

 grown in gardens, and yet in sheltered posi- 

 tions it deserves cultivation. It makes a 

 low, twiggy bush, and, in Sussex, blos&onifi 

 freely in November and December. The pure 

 white flowers are produced in little clusters 

 of two, three, or four along the blender 

 growth, and only a very severe fro^t spoils 

 them. Each bloom is about three-quarter 

 of an inch across, and composed of a dozen 

 or fifteen narrow petals. See "G.M.'* of 

 December 7, p. 933, for illustration. A.M

 of good size and rich violet-rose colouring. 

 A narrow white zone round the disk adds 

 to the effectiveness of the variety. The 

 flowers are a trifle ciip-shaped, and so, while 

 the variety will appeal to some, it will fail 

 to plea^ie those who like a flat bloom. A.M.,
