ORCHIDS : HOW TO GllOW THEM SUCCESSFULLY. 139 



THE FOLLOWING ARE TWENTY-FOUR ADDITIONAL 

 KINDS FOR THE WARM HOUSE. 



SACCOLABIUM BLUMEI. From the East Indies. 



This very pretty Orchid, which flowers in July or August, must be 

 grown in exactly the same way as recommended for Aerides and 

 Angrsecums ; the flowers, which are produced on long pendulous 

 racemes, are white flushed with rose and splashed with dark rose. 



Good plants, newly imported or established, 5s. to 10s. 6d. 



CATTLEYA ACLANDI^E. From Brazil. 



This pretty interesting little Cattleya does best grown in a basket 

 suspended on the lightest side of the house. It is a quick grower, and 

 usually makes two or more growths during the summer, flowering from 

 each. The sepals and petals are heavily marked with dark blotches, 

 and the lip is of a pretty rosy purple colour. 



Newly imported or semi-established plants, os. to 7s. 6d. per two 

 strong growths. 



CYPRIPEDIUM CHAMBERLAINIANUM. 



This is a new and very pretty species, and, owing to its very recent 

 introduction, has not, in my opinion, yet been seen in perfection. It 

 bears a number of flowers in succession on one spike, the predominating 

 colour being a pleasing shade of purple, and should have the same 

 treatment as warm Cypripediums in general. 



Established plants, 5s. to 7s. 6d. per strong leading growth. 



CYPRIPEDIUM CTJBTISII. From Sumatra. 



This species has prettily marked leaves, and the dorsal sepal is 

 white and green with slight purple veins, the petals beiDg very similar 

 in colour but with darker spots, and the pouch is of a purplish colour, 

 and it should have the same treatment as the last named. 



Established plants, about 5s. per strong lead. 



CYPRIPEDIUM VENTTSTUM. From Sylhet. 



The foliage of this species is decidedly ornamental and the flowers 

 are also very pretty, the dorsal sepal of a greenish colour, tinted with 

 yellow and veined with purple, and the sepals are similarly coloured, 

 whilst the lip is of a purplish tint veined with green. It should have 

 the same treatment as C. Lawrenceanum. 



Established plants, 3s. 6d. to 5s. per strong flowering- sized lead.
