the narrower lip, which is pointed and bright yellow (award of merit). 
Cypripedium southgatense (W. L. Lewis & Co.).—A hybrid between 
C. bellatulum and C. Harrisianum, the former being the seed parent. 
It is quite distinct from either. In the form of the lip it follows

merit).

and it should prove to be a great acquisition (award of merit).

border flower, a yellow ground seedling, flaked with rosy crimson. This 
is a vigorous grower, and does not split the pod. The parents are

bluish mauve flowers (first-class certificate). 
Tradescantia Regina (L’Horticulture Inter¬

broad flakes of white extend from base to lip,

as the centre. The young leaves are coloured 
with rich rosy mauve (first-class certificate).

collection of herbaceous plants, and at any time is well worth going a
