Garden and forest; a journal of horticulture, landscape art and forestry . e. Theresult is a hybrid of superior merit to that raised by , the flowers of Sir Trevors plant being ivory-white,with plane segments and a labellum conspicuously markedwith a V-shaped blotch of crimson. It was shown inflower last week and was awarded a first-class certificate. 6,000 feet. I think they would thrive with you if fastenedonto the south side of a tree trunk in a sheltered spot out-of-doors. I do not say that the plant would safely passthrough a winter like that of 1894-95, but I think it wouldlive outside through an average English winter. Ten tofifteen degrees of frost are often experienced where I gath-ered these plants, and the winds are often cold and might make the experiment, and the result wouldprobably be interesting. Conifers.—A hand-list of Conifera? and Taxacetc grownin the Royal Gardens, Kew, has just been issued, and maybe obtained from the curator, price threepence. It com-prises 227 species, with 340 varieties, belonging to thirty. Fig. 20.—Quercus Californica, in Oregon.—See page 146. Ltelio-Cattleya Doris, a hybrid between L. harpophyllaand C. Trianae, raised simultaneously by Messrs. Veitch &Sons and Mr. Norman Cookson, is an enlarged L. harpo-phylla, the lip only bearing distinct evidences of the Cat-tleya in its size, shape and tinge of purple. It received acertificate last week. Ccelogyne cristata.—We grow this plant either in a stoveor a warm greenhouse temperature, but, according to acorrespondent in Saharumpur, in the north-west provincesof India, it is found wild under conditions which seem toindicate a hardier constitution than is commonly attributedto it. He writes : The plants I send were collected fromthe face of exposed rocks at Mussoorie at an elevation of seven genera. The arrangement of the genera differs in afew particulars from that followed by Bentham ami Hookerin the Genera Plantarum, and the species are referr
