CAL^NTHE VEITCHII. 



In a great many places this orchid is 

 very much neglected, liut when grown 

 well, there is nothing to surpass it for 

 ■Christmas decorations, and it may be 

 freely used for house, conservatory, or 

 table. We have had many racemes 

 measuring over 50 inches from the base 

 to the summit, the flowers of good size 

 and splendid color. This I attribute to 

 the pseudo-bulbs not being too large, and 

 also not being too much hurried into 

 flower. After finishing their growth, 

 a lower temperature suffices. The best 

 time for potting tin* species is the 

 month of March, when growth has re- 

 ■commenced. The cultivator should never 

 -cut away all the old roots, but leave 

 plenty to support the pseudo-bulb in 

 position at the top of the soil, which 

 should be quite half or even an inch 

 above the rims of the flower-pots; in no 

 «ase should too large ones be used. The

The Review when you wrl 



compost should consist of one part turfy- 

 loam, two parts turfy-peat, one part 

 sphagnum, with an addition of small 

 pieces of dry cow-manure, but not using 

 any sand. Special care should be taken 

 t.i use no fine material whatever, letting 

 the roots ramble with as much freedom 

 as possible. Firm potting should not be 

 resorted to. the fingers being sufficient. 

 In finishing off, use a stick and an old 

 pair of vine-scissors for cutting off the 

 rough material used. 



Then place in a temperature not less 

 than 00 degrees for the first month, after 

 that the stove temperature will suit 

 them, but be most careful in watering 

 during the first period of their growth : 

 also avoiding strong sunshine, as it is 

 apt to burn the foliage. When growth 

 is completed, which would be in Sep- 

 tember, a lower temperature is essential. 

 gradually exposing them to the sun to 

 ripen the bulbs. During the growing 

 season, applications of manure-water are 

 beneficial, but in no case use artificial 

 manures. Damping between the pots 

 with manure-water is of great benefit to 

 the foliage; syringing should not be re- I 

 sorted to at all, as it often causes that 

 black spot which is seen on the pseudo- I 

 bulbs. An occasional sponging of the 

 foliage is all that is necessary to keep i 

 in check red-spider and scale. After the 

 flowering period is over, calanthes should 

 be rested in a temperature not less than 

 00 degrees.— W. Fulford, in Gardeners - |
