COOL TREATMENT OF ORCHIDS. 109 



where the temperature is regulated as we have before 

 prescribed. 



The Indian Ccelogynes, particularly the deciduous tribe 

 of Pleiones which need plenty of water while growing, and 

 which when well grown flower as freely as a pot of cro- 

 cuses. 



Lycastes in all the species, but particularly Skinneri, 

 cruenta, and aromatica. 



Maxillaria venusta. 



Epidendrum aurantiacum, vitellinum, macrochilum, and 

 dnnabarinum. 



Anguloa Clowesii, Ruckeri, and uniflora. 



Barkeria Skinneri and spectabilis. 



Dendrobium speciosum. 



Phajus albus and grandifolius. 



Cypripedium caudatum and most other species. 



Uropedium Lindeni. 



Disa grandiflora. Masdavilleas in variety. 



There are many other Orchids which grow and flower 

 better with a moderate degree of heat and which do well 

 in a cool house during the greater part of the year ; such 

 are Lcelias, Sophronites and many others. 



This mode of culture is as yet in its infancy, and we 

 may reasonably hope that further experiments will show 

 that Orchid culture, now confined to a few, may before 

 many years be within the reach of the masses and the 

 rich flowers of the Lcelias, Odontoglossums, and Cattleyas, 

 the fragrant blossoms of the Aerides, Dendrobiums, and 

 StanhopcaS) and the curious blooms of the Catesetums and 

 Coryanthes be as well known at our horticultural exhibi- 

 tion as the ever favorite roses, lilies, and violets.
