THE GARDENING WORLD. 
February 25, 1893. 
The last two varieties it must be admitted are still 
farther removed from your form, which comes 
nearest the two previously mentioned, and tet does 
not agree with them. Seeing that this is the case 
we would suggest that you call it O. c. New-miln s 
var., or O. c. Campbell’s var. As far as we can see, 
you would be justified in doing so. The other species 
you sent is Odontoglossum odoratum var. Horticul¬ 
turists would put it in the O. gloriosum group, on 
account of the pale ground colour of the sepals and 
petals. 
Border Pinks. — M. M., Aberdeen : Clove Pink, 
deep rose; Derby Day, deep pink; Early Blush, 
pink ; Emerald, bright rose; and Lord Lyon, 
purplish crimson, would probably suit you. Some 
20 years ago, in the cottage gardens of your own 
county, a full double pink coloured variety was 
largely grown without a name so far as our memory 
serves. That is the sort that would suit you if you 
can find it. Try the Buchan district.
