Those that have been established on the benches for some time are making fine new growths and roots and we noted par- ticularly promising growths on the use- ful summer flowering C. Gaskelliana. The house is a large, roomy structure, well adapted to cattleya culture; in ad- dition to the top ventilation already provided, Mr. Reinberg is going to put in side ventilation, low down, whicli will be a distinct advantage. Besides the cattleyas there are fine batches of Odontoglossum grande, Oncidium vari- cosum and various dendrobiums. Of the latter D. Wardianum is just coming into flower and there are still a few flowers left on D. formosum. There is also a fine bench of Cypripedium in- signe, which is well shown in the ac- companying illustration, covered with the useful long lasting flowers. Mr. Reinberg has made a good start with this section and intends, in spring, to largely increase the stock of cattleyas by the addition of imported stock.

In all 85,000 plants are grown of this popular rose, in addition to 35,000 Bride and Bridesmaid, 16,000 Richmond and other popular varieties, such as Killar- ney, Mme. Chatenay, Kate Moulton in ]>roportion. Kate Moulton has proved suclx an excellent variety here that it will largely, if not entirely, take the place of JIme. Chatenay, being better in color. All these teas are exceedingly well done here and the large section devoted to Bride and Bridesmaid is in fine order.
