orchids: now to ghow them successfully. l:io 



Established plants, suitable for j^rowing on, should be 

 purchased for 7/() to 10/- 



Cypripedium Argus. From the East Indies. 



This pretty little species may Iw^ giown in a damp and shady 

 ]»art of the house, and treated the same as advised for C. Lawrence- 

 anum, and it produces its flowers in March or Apiil, the dorsal 

 sepal of the flower being heavily spotted. 



Estabhshed plants, .'3 and .3/- per leading growth. 



Lycaste Deppei. From Mexico. 



This si)ecies must be treated in the same way as L. Skinnerii, 

 but as it does not bloom until spring a good rest should be given 

 to it through the winter in a Hght and airy position, which will 

 induce the plant to flower with greater freedom. The sepals are 

 greenish yellow, the petals white, and the lip yellow. 



Newly imported plants if possible, or established, 3/6 to 5/- 

 per strong leading growth. 



Lycaste aromatica. From Mexico. 



This species, if well grown and with a good rest as recom- 

 mended for L. Deppei, will produce a large quantity of golden 

 yellow flowers from the last formed bulbs in spring, the flowers 

 appearing simultaneously with the new growths, and when the 

 latter is seen to be starting into growth and repotting is necessarj*. 

 it should then be done, otherwise if the plant is left until it has 

 finished blooming, the new growths will be too far advanced and 

 the plant receive a great check. 



Newly imported if possible, or established, at from 3/6 to 5;- 

 per strong leading bulbs. 



SOBRALIA xaxtiioleuca. From Colombia. 



This is a handsome yellow flowered variety which blooms in 

 May or June, and must be treated as advised for S. macrantha; but 

 is by no means so plentiful as that species, and is, therefore, more 

 expensive. 



Good plants, suitable for growing on, however, should be 

 bought for from lo'- to 21 -, established if possible, or newly 

 imported.
