13() orchids: how to grow them successfully. 



Odontoglossum Insleayi leopardinum. Fi-om Mexico. 



This is a pretty winter -flowering species, and in growth bears 

 a great resemblance to O. grande, in company with which no

Good plants, newly imported or established, .3 - to 10/6. 



Cattleya Aclandle. From Brazil.

 basket suspended on the lightest side of the house, at a cool dry end 

 in the winter. It is a quick grower, and usually makes two or 

 more growths during the summer, flowering from each. The 

 sepals and petals are heavily marked with dark blotches, and the 

 lip is of a pretty rosy purple colour. 



Newly imported or semi-established plants, ol- to 7/6 per two 

 strong growths. 



Cypripedium Chamberlaixianum, 



This is a new and very pretty species, and, o\Ving to its very
