Potting Orchids 



and Oncidivims when growing — must be kept moist 

 all through, and therefore they want almost as 

 many crocks as in the old style, not one only. In 

 fact, the treatment of cool orchids is little altered 

 under the new system in this respect. Add about 

 twenty per cent, of chopped moss to the leaf-mould. 

 Belgians are not to be persuaded that the plants 

 do not find actual sustenance in terrc dc hruijere, 

 whatever botanists may say ; and therefore they 

 must have plenty of it. Of course, the half inch 

 of chopped moss on top must be added to exclude 

 the air, as in other cases.
