In Uri. manner we have hod from rixty to one hundred flowers npon one plant of /> ^W^a, which 

 continued lo have about the same number for si* years in tuecewon. Wo mention tl..» merely to show 



that the plants ran be grown well in this way. 



Secondly, we have grown them well in pots « itb moss and crocks, suspended from the roof. 1 In, plan 

 can bo seen carried out in our house n. Broom6e1d, where every year the plants are loaded with flowers,- 

 sometimes fifty in bloom al one time, and not a spot on the leave.. They thrive equally well >n basket- 

 suspended (torn the roof, hut it is necessary to replenish the moss as soon as it commences to dewy. They 

 also thrive well on blocks suspended from .he roof, hut they then require more attention -.* to the applica- 

 tion of moisture. The temperature we find the moat suitable for the different species, is in winter 65' al 

 night by fire heat, rising in the daytime a few degrees higher. Wo always avoid too much lire heal in 

 winter. The moss should be kept just moist; and in summer, as the plants are nearly always growing, 

 they will lake a moderately liberal supply, but the water should always be warmer than the temperature of 

 the house. Another point of much importance ia giving plenty of warm fresh air, and thus keeping up a 

 constant motion in the atmosphere of the house. 



Phalanopmhaxc propagated by leaving the old flower-stems, which often produce young plants. These 

 should be left on until well rooted, and then cut off, and treated as recommended above.
