This is a good time to pot up new- 

 growths of Lycaste, now that the 

 flowering season is over and new 

 growth starting. However, it is only 

 once in two or three years that these 

 orchids need repotting. The plants 

 grow well in equal parts of fern fibre 

 and fibrous loam, and they should 

 have plenty of water, not being al- 

 lowed to become too dry even during 

 the resting season. There should be 

 no lack of drainage, and pots or pans 

 half filled with clean broken crocks 

 are often recommended for them. 

 During the summer keep them in a 

 cool north house. Probably the old 

 Lycaste skinneri is the best bloomer 

 of all, but L.. Cruenta and Harrisoniae 

 are good. 



The single stemmed chrysanthe- 

 mum can be potted up to advantage 

 up to the first week in .lune. It is 

 especially desirable to do the work 

 now if plants are to be grown for 

 six-inch pots. The cuttings must 

 never be allowed to show signs of 

 wilting, either from lack of moisture 

 or lack of proper shade. Sometimes 

 cutting bench fungus causes consider- 

 able trouble so that it is wise to 

 change the sand of these cuttings. 

 When rooted give them 2%-inch pots, 

 shifting to 4-inch and then to 6-inch 

 pots. The plants should not be al- 

 lowed to become pot bound at any 

 time until the last shift has been 

 made. In their final pots the plants 

 should have a rich compost with one- 

 third well rotted cow manure and a 

 good sprinkling of bone dust. Sy- 

 ringe the plants several times a day, 

 and likewise water them at the roots 

 daily. A bench with side ventilation 

 is a good place for young plants dur- 

 ing the summer. 



If you are growing Nerines and find 

 tlie foliage has a yellow tint you 

 should lay the pots on their sides on 

 an elevated piece of gj-ound where 

 they will not get much water, for this 

 changing color indicates that they are 

 completing their growth. They may 

 be allowed to rest until the middle of 

 September, when they should be
