140 ORCHIDS : HOW TO GROW THEM SUCCESSFULLY. 



CYPRIPEDIUM HOOKERJE. From Borneo. 



This species also has strongly marked foliage, and its flowers are 

 exceedingly interesting ; the prevailing colours are green and purple, 

 the petals being spotted, and it should have the same treatment as 

 Cattleya Aclandise. 



Established plants, 3s. 6d. to 5s. per strong leading growth. 



CYPRIPEDIUM NIVEUM. From the East Indies. 



This is a chaste and lovely little species, with pure white flowers, 

 with the exception of a few very small dust-like purple spots. It flowers 

 in the summer, and must be grown in the same way as C. bellatulum. 



Newly imported or established plants can be bought for about 5s. 

 per small clump. 



CATASETUM BUNGEROTHII. From Venezuela. 



This is a beautiful Orchid, the flowers of which are large and of a 

 wax-like, ivory white colour, requiring the same treatment as recom- 

 mended for Chysis bractescens. The flower spikes push up from the base 

 of the new pseudobulb immediately its growth is completed, which is 

 generally about July, and after flowering it should have a rest, as with 

 Dendrobiums, letting 50 degrees be the lowest winter temperature. 



Newly imported or established, 7s. 6d. to 10s. 6d. per leading bulb. 



MILTONIA EOEZLII. From Colombia. 



(Syn. Odontoglossum Koezlii.) 



Truly a lovely Orchid, the flowers of which are produced at nearly 

 all seasons of the year and are pure white, sometimes with a yellow or 

 red eye in the centre. It is, however, rather difficult to cultivate unless 

 in the position adapted to it, then it will grow freely, and the coolest 

 and dampest end of the house, where the foliage gets damp nightly, 

 suits it admirably. 



Established, 3s. 6d. to 5s. per strong leading growth. 



DENDROBIUM CRASSINODE. From the Arracan Hills. 



A beautiful species, requiring exactly the same treatment as 

 recommended for D. Wardianum (see page 126), with this exception that 

 it will not stand so much cold during winter. The flowers rival that 

 lovely variety in point of beauty, but are smaller. 



Newly imported or semi-established, 2s. 6d. to 5s. per strong lead. 



DENDROBIUM DENSIFLORUM. From the Khasia Hills. 



This is another lovely golden-yellow flowered species, growing and 

 flowering in the same manner as D. thyrsiflorum (see page 105), and 

 should be placed with that plant during the winter months when in a 

 dormant state, and always treated in a similar way. 



Newly imported or established, 2s. 6d. or 5s. per leading growth.
