132 orchids: how to grow them successfully. 



Nice clumps, newly imported in spring, witli four or five 

 leads, for about o/-. 



L-ELIA ELEGANS. From St. Catherina. 



This is supposed to be a natural hybrid, between Leelia 

 purpurata and Cattleya intermedia, and it may be grown in pots 

 or baskets, but should be placed in the warmest position during 

 the winter. 



Nice plants, newly imported or established, should be obtained 

 for about 7/6 to 10/6 per leading bulb. 



Cattleya Skinxerii. From Costa Eica. 



This handsome and useful species blooms in April or May, and 

 is of easy culture, requiring exactly the same treatment as that 

 advised for Cattleyas generally. 



Newly imported or established plants, 3/6 to o/- per strong 

 leading bulb. 



Cattleya Bowringiana. From Honduras. 



This should have the same treatment as the last-named, being- 

 somewhat similar, and I have sometimes thought that this species 

 produces a greater number of flowers when grown in baskets and 

 suspended. 



Newly imported or established, at 3/6 to o/- per strong 

 leading bulb. 



Cattleya amethystoglossa. From Brazil. 



A tall growing species, and therefore must be in pots, requiring 

 the same treatment as Cattleyas in general. The flowers are of n 

 i-osy purple colour, more or less spotted with deep magenta. 



Good strong leads, newly imported or established, at from 

 .')/- to 10/6. 



Cattleya intermedia. From Brazil. 



This is a very pretty summer-flowering species, much like 

 C. Harrisoniana in habit of growth, and should be treated like that 

 species, with the exception of the winter time when it is in active 

 growth, during which time it should, if possible, be at the warmest 

 end of the house. 



Newly imported or established, of- to 7/6 per leading growth.
