_Cattleya Mossiæ Hardyana_ is like the type in its habit of growth, having similar evergreen foliage, and producing its gorgeous flowers in the some way. The sepals and petals are of a pale blush-rose colour, curiously blotched and veined with rose-purple, while the lip is a bright rose-purple, margined with dark rose, and the throat orange-yellow. It blooms during May and June, and lasts about three weeks in perfection. The plant requires the same mode of treatment as that given to the other forms of _Cattleya Mossiæ_. Orchids in Vineries.—We frequently hear it remarked that Orchids cannot be cultivated in this or that garden for want of a suitable house or houses to grow them in. Now, we have repeatedly alluded to the fact that Orchids do well when cultivated in houses in which other classes of plants besides them are grown. We met with a convincing illustration of this in November last, when calling upon John Heywood, Esq., of the Grange, Stretford, near Manchester. Here we found houses allotted to Orchids, and amongst them one cool plant-house in which there were many fine Odontoglots, and some good specimens of _Epidendrum vitellinum majus_, &c. We, however, wish chiefly to draw attention to the fact, that we also found here two span-roofed Vineries, in which there were good crops of Grapes, such as Muscat, Black Alicante, and others; and beneath these Vines, standing on the curbs, or suspended from the roof, was growing a collection of _Dendrobiums_, occupying the whole length of the two houses, and among them many fine specimen plants, with well ripened bulbs, and which promise well for bloom. We particularly noted many well-grown plants of _D. Wardianum giganteum_, _D. Devonianum_ with very strong bulbs, and _D. crassinode_. There was a fine plant of _D. Ainsworthii_, which is still rare, and is one of the best hybrids yet raised, as it bears fine handsome flowers, and is free in producing them. _D. thyrsiflorum_ and _D. densiflorum_ were also well represented; and there were fine plants of _D. nobile_, one of the most useful for winter decoration, promising well for bloom. Mr. Elphinstone, the gardener, informed us that these plants had been grown in the same houses for some time past; and they are found to succeed well with the treatment given to the Vines. Any one, therefore, having good Vineries may use them for Orchids as well as for Grapes, as they are at the Grange, thus making a double use of the houses, and saving expense. Besides the cool Orchid house already mentioned, there is a good house of _Cattleyas_, _Lælias_, &c.; and another full of fine _Vandas_, and such other Orchids as _Phalænopsis_, _Aërides_, _Cypripedium_, _Odontoglossum vexillarium_, and many others that require a similar temperature.—B.
