well, and place four or five bulbs in a 

 six-inch pot, excepting C. Gardneriana, 

 which is a strong grower, and requires a 

 larger pot, and fewer pseudo-bulbs in it. 

 Pot as soon as the bloom is over, because 

 as soon as the flowers decay the young 

 leaves begin immediately to push forth 

 from the same sheath, and will soon be- 

 gin to put out new roots. Before that 

 takes place the plants should be potted. 



THIS EULE APPLIES TO ALL ORCHIDS. 



Place this section of Cwlogyne on a 

 shelf near the glass in a cool stove. 

 "Whilst growing, freely water mode- 

 rately, till the leaves are considerably 

 grown, and then abundantly. In pot- 

 ting, place the bulbs just on the surface 

 of the soil. 



Resting -period Treatment. As soon as 

 the pseudo-bulbs are fully formed cease 

 watering, and allow the leaves to turn 

 yellow and die ; remove them and con- 

 tinue the plants in the same situation, 

 keeping them dry and cool. Pay atten- 

 tion to them occasionally, to see that the 

 bulbs continue plump and fresh : should 

 they appear to shrivel, give a little water, 

 which will cause them to swell again ; 

 but be careful not to overdo it, or you 

 may induce them to start prematurely.
