LYCASTE. These lovely winter- and spring-flowering 
Orchids cannot be too highly recommended to the notice 
of amateurs. The whole section is far better grown in 
the cool intermediate house, where they ean have a liberal 
circulation of air through the lower ventilators whenever 
outside conditions permit. The cool house, under similar 
conditions to those provided for Odontoglossums, suits 
them well during the summer months; but they require 
a slightly higher temperature during the dull months of 
the year. The potting should be done in the early spring, 
using a compost of rough, fibrous peat and sphagnum, 
to which may be added a little loam and a liberal 
sprinkling of rough sand, The drainage should be clean 
and ample. Lycastes require a liberal amount of water 
during the active season of growth, and at no season of 
the year should they be allowed to become dry at the 
roots. Shading must also be carefully attended to by 
draping the roof-blinds if the sun’s power is likely to 
damage the foliage. The L. Skinnerii section embraces 
the most satisfactory varieties to cultivate.
