furnishos a safe retreat for cockroaches, 

 snails anil woodlice, the principal ene- 

 mies of cattleyas. Set the stems of the 

 jilants well above the rim of the pot, 

 ami ram the peat firmly around the roots. 

 Test the firmness of the potting by 

 holding the potted plant up by the 

 leaves. It should not disturb the plant. 

 The jiotting should take place ,iust be- 

 fore the new growth commences, anil 

 while the roots are fairly dry. After 

 the plants have lieen potted, water should 

 be withheld for s<>veral days in order to 

 allow the injured roots to heal. Water 

 sparingly at first. 



In topdressing the plants remove as 

 much of the old peat as jiossible without 

 injuring the roots and work a good coat- 

 ing of finely chopped peat over the siu-- 

 faic.
