2 14 ORCHIDS FOR EVERYONE 



At the end of August all shading painted on to the roof glass 

 should be washed off. 



Cattleya Warscewiczii is generally in a condition to benefit 

 by potting as soon as its flowers have faded. 



The heating apparatus will not be required much during 

 July and August, therefore full advantage should be taken of 

 the warm weather to examine boilers and pipes, make good any 

 defects, or provide new parts, so that all may be in perfect order 

 before cold weather begins. 



SEPTEMBER 



All cool Odontoglossums that need such attention should be 

 potted as early as possible this month. There is no doubt that 

 August and September afford the best possible time for this 

 operation. 



Mexican Laelias should receive all the light obtainable, except 

 bright mid-day sunshine, and be syringed lightly on fine days. 

 Close the house early in the afternoon, so as to encourage growth. 



Vandas and similar Orchids will need much less shading now; 

 the aim should be to ripen up the growths and leaves, so that they 

 may the better stand the dull days of Winter. 



Encourage Winter-flowering Cypripediums by allowing them 

 increased light, sufficient root moisture, and an occasional watering 

 with clear soot-water. 



Cool Masdevallias should be potted early in the month. 



Deciduous Dendrobiums will in many cases have finished 

 their growth, and need cooler and drier conditions, and a light, 

 sunny position.
