together, from the top and sides of the stems after they have completed their growth; 
each individual flower being three or more inches in diameter, according to the 
strength of the plant. The blossoms are pure white, with the exception of the lip 
which is deeply stained with cinnabar-red. The usual time of flowering is during the 
spring and summer months, and the blossoms continue in perfection for several weeks 
if they are kept free from extraneous moisture. When in blossom it is advisable to 
place them in a drier atmosphere in order to keep the pure white flowers in 
perfect condition, for if allowed to get damp they will soon become spotted and 
unsightly. 
This Dendrobe may be kept in a thriving condition, provided it receives the 
requisite treatment. We find it does exceedingly well in the Odontoglossum house, 
at the warmest part, if kept near the light, and where it can obtain abundant air, 
in order that the growths may become strong and vigorous. We saw some of this 
stamp in the collection of R. H. Measures, Esq., which were producing some fine 
blooms in the month of December, having previously flowered in the month of June. 
The pseudobulbs from which these flowers were produced were the largest we ever 
remember to have seen, and the flowers were correspondingly large. This proves 
that by having strength of bulb or stem their flowers may be produced at different 
times of the year, and when they come to enliven the dull winter months they 
are doubly welcome. The material in which to pot this Dendrobium consists of 
rough fibrous peat and sphagnum moss, with thorough good drainage, and when 
grown in pots they should have some lumps of charcoal mixed with the soil, as the 
plant requires always to be kept moist during the growing season ; when at rest 
just enough moisture must be given to keep the stems plump. When the plants 
begin to show blooms give them a little more at the roots, in order to encourage 
the development of flowers of large size. After the blooming season is past they will 
soon begin to grow, and this is a good time to repot them if they require it. If they 
do not require fresh potting a little fresh peat or moss will be beneficial to them, 
and should be applied by removing a small portion of the old soil and replacing 
it with fresh, at the same time seeing that the drainage is perfect. Look closely 
after insects, removing them if they put in an appearance so as to keep the plants 
scrupulously clean.
