These plants should be grown in pots, in peat and 

 potsherds, with good drainage. They should have plenty 

 of light and sun ; should be kept dry during the resting 

 season. When the young shoots begin to push, the water- 

 ing should be light, but as the growth advances it should 

 be increased, and when the bulbs are forming should be 

 copious. Care should be taken not to wet the flower 

 stalks, as they easily damp off, and during the flowering 

 season the soil should be only moist. Many are very 

 large plants, and the room they would occupy is so much 

 better filled by more showy plants, of more recent intro- 

 duction, that few care to grow Catasetums. The flowers 

 of many species are " uncanny " in appearance and un- 

 pleasant to look at.
