140 orchids: how to grow them successfully. 



Oncidium Cavendishianum. From Guatemala. 



A verj^ pretty species, and the flowers are produced during 

 the winter months on spikes from the base of the last formed 

 growth, and are yoUow with brown spots. The pseudo bulbs are 

 very minute in comparison with its large fleshy leathery leaves, and 

 it should be grown in pots on the hght side of the house. 



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



Stanhopea oculata. From Mexico. 



This is another showy species, and should be cultivated 

 exactly as advised for S. tigrina [see page 123), and the ground 

 colour of this species is light yellow, thickly marked with bright 

 chocolate spots, and it flowers in the autumn. 



Newly imported or established plants are from 5/- to 7/6 per 

 strong leading bulb. 



Stanhopea insignis. From Brazil. 



This species is also very showy and blooms during the summer 

 months, and must be treated in the same way as the foregoing. 



Newly imported or established plants are worth from 5/- to 

 7/6 per strong lead. 



Mormodes pardinfm. From Mexico. 



This is a handsome and curious Orchid, and flowers in the 

 same manner as Catasetum Bungerothii and must have the same 

 treatment in every respect. The ground colour of the flower is 

 yellow, densely spotted with chocolate. 



Newly imported or established plants, 5/- to 10/6 per strong 

 lead. 



Cattleya speciosissima. From Caracas. 

 {!^i/n. C. Luddemanniana). 



A lovely species of the labiata section , the flowers very much 

 resembling those of C. Mossiae, and it flowers during the autumn 

 months. This species, like C. Aclandias is rather difficult to grow 

 and flower successfully unless given a warm temperature, and it 

 should be grown in a pan or basket suspended in a very light 

 j)Osition. 



Newly imported or established, 5 - to 7/6 per strong leading 

 bulb.
