pot, as is ilic custom with plants of this order which possess rwmlobnlbs. During the growing season 

 the plant requires n liberal supply or water; and as it requires but little rest, even during the winter 

 months, it must never bo allowed to get very dry at the roots. Csprlpctfum*, it must be remembered, 

 have no fleshy pscudobulbs to supply them with nourishment, and therefore they cannot hear up nsninst 

 excessive drought without injury. 



This plant is liable to Ire somclimes attacked by the scale insect, and also by a kind of ml thripe 

 which Bpcedily disfigures it. The former may be removed and kept in check by frequent washings of 

 soft-soap and water, and the latter by light fumigations of tobacco. When propagation is required, it 

 is effected by division of the roots.
