East Indies. 
The sun will shortly be gaining ae and care 
must be taken to check the fires in time to prevent 
the temperature de too high, it eines never safe 
practice to give air at the wi eds season. Although 
many plants are ' лан ing to w, they should be 
kept eon: slowly, for if ek cid by a high tem-

withstand any check t might occu

a dozen spikes makes a charming plant for a 
basket. Masdevallias, er were broken up es re-

through the house, These and cool Odontoglossums 
can still be potted, if not already е but I would 
advise the temperature being kept up to 50°.

purposes may be taken as late as the middle cf
