Tender Orchideous Plants. — Dr. Lind- 

 ley has given the following selections 

 from the foregoing, with statements as 

 to their appropriate modes of growth : — 



" To grow orchidaceous plants in 

 the highest state of perfection, several 

 houses would be requisite ; for exam- 

 ple, there should be a cool house for 

 those which inhabit the high lands of 

 Mexico and Guatemala ; a warm and 

 moist one for others which grow in the 

 hot damp valleys of India, and other 

 parts of the tropics ; a third, kept warm 

 and dry, for containing those which are 

 in a state of rest; and a fourth for 

 plants in flower. But, however beauti- 

 ful and interesting this tribe may be, 

 few persons would go to this expense; 

 and many have succeeded admirably in 

 growing a selection mixed with other 

 stove plants. It is difficult to give di- 

 rections for the management of a house 

 of this kind without seeing it, but the 

 following should be attended to. Keep 

 the orchidaceous plants as much toge- 

 ther as possible, either at one side, or 

 along the front itself. This is neces- 

 sary in order that they may be kept more 

 moist or shaded than the other plants. 

 If the house fronts the south, shade 

 will be indispensable during bright sun- 

 shine in summer and autumn. The 

 temperature of it during the dull months 

 of winter, that is from November to 

 February, should not exceed 60° by 

 night. As the spring advances, raise 

 it to 60° and 70°, and it may be kept 

 at that as long as artificial heat is ne- 

 cessary. If the summer and autumn 

 are warm, no fire will be required for 

 two or three months. Always allow 

 the temperature to sink several degrees 

 lower at night than during the day. If 

 this is done, and the stove kept damp 

 enough, the plants will be covered with 

 dew in the morning. The following is 

 a list of those most suitable.

 near the warmest end of the stove.
