Orchids for everyone . s instead of from the albino varieties, did not appearuntil several years after the original C. Maudi^. C.

Stonei X C. superbiens\ is a splendid free-growing and free-floweringhybrid that carries several large flowers on each spike ; many yearsago it used to be grown particularly well in the Paradise Nurseriesat Holloway, and at almost every season of the year plants could befound in bloom at that establishment. C. Niobe [C. Fairrieanum X C. Spicerianum), is a delighful little hybrid with a good deal ofpurple colouring, and it is one of the best of the C. Fairrieanumcrosses. C. nitens (C insigne x C. villosum\ is an effectivecombination of two fine old species; it grows well, and flowersfreely in the winter, and its finer varieties are C. n. magnificum,C. N. Sallieri, and C. n. superbum. C. cenanthum [ J!RASSIA VERRUCOSA. THE MOST USEFUL ORCHIDS 77 Harrhianum x C. insigne), is another of the older hybrids, but onethat is not to be despised for that reason ; this cross has probably beenraised more times than any other, and the names given to the progenyof the species indicated is startling; C. ce. superbum, C. and C. ce. Mdme. Coffinet are good varieties. C. Simonii(C. insigne x C. Leeanum), is perhaps better known as C. Acteus,a name that represents a very fine form of this variable Thalia (C insigne x Schroederi\ is very fine and a muchbetter grower than the handsome, brightly-coloured C. Schrcederi;four species are concerned in its production, C. insigne^C. barbatum, C. Fairrieanum, and C. villosum. C. Thaliavariety Mrs Francis Wellesley, is one of the most handsome ofall Cypripediums, no matter what their class. C. triumphans[C. nitens x C. cenanthum)^ adds one more to the twenty-five selectedhybrids; it is of very mixed parentage,
