jYBRID Orchids are coming thickly upon us. It is well known that 
numerous beautiful subjects have been raised in Messrs. Veitch’s establish¬ 
ments, a very marked degree of success having attended their efforts in 
hybridising Cattleyas, Leelias, and Cypripediums. In the plant here 
figured, for the woodcut of which we are indebted to the Gardeners^ Chronicle^ 
we have another first-class novelty from another source—the collection of Dr. 
Ainsworth, of Broughton, Manchester. It is a very distinct and attractive plant, 
well worthy to bear the name of one of the liberal patrons of the Orchid 
family who have made Manchester famous as a centre of Orchid-culture. 
Mr. Mitchell, Dr. Ainsworth’s very successful gardener, informs us that 
Dendrohnm Ainswortldi is a hybrid between D. heterocarpum and D. nobile. 
The seed was sown in March, 1867, on a block of wood, and on February 1, 
1874, the plant opened its first flowers. During its earlier stages the plant grew 
very slowly, but last year its progress was more rapid, its pseudobulbs increasing 
from 4 in. to 1 ft. in length, From this fact Mr, Mitchell draws the inference
