said on the subject of the cool-house treatment, that there is 

 no need to enter ujion it liere, but merely to add that a " cool- 

 house " is a comj)arative term, and if it is imagined that 

 Orchids can be grown under the same conditions as a Pelar- 

 gonium, as some seem to imagine, a \ery great mistake is 

 committed. We may add that in addition to its other claims, 

 Sophronifis qrandijlora is an autumn and winter- blooming 

 Orchid.
