Nurseries during the past autumn. It is a singularly beautiful form, having more 
white than is usually to be seen in the flowers, but is a somewhat variable species 
as far as the colours are concerned. These plants require to be grown at the cool 
end of the East Indian house, and should be placed in hanging baskets, so that they 
may be well exposed to the full light; they require to be shaded from the sun during 
the hotter part of the day, but only a thin shading material should be provided. 
They require during the growing season an abundant supply of water, and the 
atmosphere must also be kept well charged with moisture, but after they have 
finished their growth, and the flowering season is past, they should be removed 
to the Cattleya house or to some position where they may be cooler and 
kept comparatively dry. For soil use good brown peat-fibre, from which all the 
fine portion has been beaten, mixed with about an equal part of sphagnum moss, 
surfacing with the fresh picked living points, which grow and make a_ nice 
appearance and a seft bed for the young roots to work into. The best time to 
re-surface or to re-pot them is in the early spring, just as the plants show signs 
of starting into fresh growth.
