ORCHIDS : HOW TO GROW THEM SUCCESSFULLY. 135 



bear so much sun as L. anceps, and requires the same treatment as 

 Cattleya Trianae and others. 



Newly imported or established, from 3s. 6d. to os. per strong 

 leading bulb. 



L^ELIA ANCEPS SANDERIANA. From Mexico. 



This is a beautiful white variety of L. anceps, and like that species 

 should be grown in a basket, and fully exposed to sunlight ; it 

 flowers. during the winter months. The true " alba," which is without 

 any dark markings in the throat, is very rare. 



Newly imported or established, about 10s. 6d. per strong leading 

 growth. 



LuELiA ALBLDA. From Mexico. 



This pretty little species, which flowers during November and 

 December, has flowers which are mostly white, and will not bear quite 

 so much sunshine as L. anceps, but in other respects should have the 

 same treatment. 



Nice clumps, newly imported in spring, with four or five leads, 

 for about 5s. 



x ELEGANS. From Santa Catherina. 



This is supposed to be a natural hybrid between Lselia purpurata 

 and Cattleya Leopoldii, and it may be grown in pots or baskets, but 

 should be placed in the warmest position during the winter. 



Nice plants, newly imported or established, should be obtained for 

 about 7s. 6d. to 10s. 6d. per leading bulb. 



CATTLEYA SKINNERI. From Costa Eica. 



This handsome and useful species blooms in April or May, and is 

 of easy culture, requiring exactly the same treatment as that advised 

 for Cattleyas generally. 



Newly imported or established plants, at 3s. 6d. to 5s. per 

 strong leading bulb. 



CATTLEYA BOWRINGIANA. From Honduras. 



This should have the same treatment as the last named, being 

 somewhat similar, and I have sometimes thought that this species 

 produces a greater number of flowers when grown in baskets and 

 suspended. 



Newly imported or established, at 3s. 6d. to 5s. per strong 

 leading bulb. 



CATTLEYA AMETHYSTOGLOSSA. From Brazil. 

 A tall growing species, and therefore must be in pots, requiring 

 the same treatment as Cattleyas in general. The flowers are of a rosy 

 purple colour, more or less spotted with deep magenta.
