Specimen Cattleyas. — A recent issue of 
Horticulture, U.S.A., mentions two fine 
specimens of Cattleya Mossiae, belonging to 
the Western Orcfiid Company, which were 
exhibited in San Francisco when in full 
bloom. One plant, grown in a 22-in. pan, 
bore go flowers. The other plant was in a 
24-in. pan and carried 150 flowers.

Vanda Marguerite Maron. — This very 
beautiful hybrid was first exhibited by M. 
Chas. Maron, at the Temple Show, 1903. 
The parents are V. teres and V. suavis, and 
the habit of the plant may best be described 
as intermediate in character. The fleshy 
leaves at first sight appear to be terete in 
fashion, and similar in shape, although 
somewhat larger, to V. teres, but closer 
examination will show that the V. suavis parent 
is well represented by the longitudinal manner 
in which the leaves attempt to open along 
their upper part. The plant takes after teres 
in its shy-flowering nature, but when in 
bloom amply repays one for the trouble of 
waiting. The individual flowers measure 
about three inches across, are of a pale blush- 
lilac, with many small purple dots. The 
large lip is light yellow, with the middle lobe 
bright purple and with darker spots. M. 
Chas. Maron and Messrs. Charlesworth both 
exhibited excellent specimens at the Ghent 
•Show, August, 191 3.
