popular Cymbidiums, such as C. Lowianum, C. giganteum, 
C. cyperifolium, C. grandiflorum (Hookerianum), and the 
now plentiful and lovely C. Traceyanum, are found to 
do better under cool conditions than when grown in 
the stove. A winter temperature of 50deg. is quite 
sufficient, with, say, a summer temperature of about 
60deg. Under cooler conditions the plants do not require 
so much water. In winter especially it must be given 
with great discretion, or the result will be disastrous. 
Excessive moisture, with cool conditions inside the honse, 
generally develop ‘‘black spot’’ and disfignration of the 
foliage. This must be avoided by keeping the plants in a
