or the scapes removed, the plants should be carefully rested ina temperature 
which does not fall much below 60° F., and receive sufficient water to 
maintain the pseudobulbs in a plump and healthycondition. The atmosphere 
should be kept fairly dry, to assist in thoroughly ripening the pseudobulbs. 
D. infundibulum, D. Jamesianum, and other which are best accommodated 
in the Cool house during the summer months, will be much better removed 
to the Cool end of an Intermediate house for the winter, and these, being 
evergreen plants, must not be allowed to suffer for want of water at any 
time. _ Other evergreen Dendrobiums, such as D. thyrsiflorum, densiflorum, 
pulchellum, and others which are now resting, should also have water 
afiorded them whenever they become dry. Although not so popular as they 
Were at one time, they are still a most interesting and fascinating class of 
plants, and deserve more extended cultivation. 
VANDA C@RULEA, for the most part, will have passed the flowering stage, 
and should be rested in a temperature of about 60°F, paying strict attention 
to the ventilation and the atmospheric condition of the house. Very little 
water at the roots will be needed; only sufficient to keep the plants from 
shtivelling. Vandas of the V. tricolor and suavis group may be repotted, if 
they have lost their leaves and become leggy. This operation should only 
be performed when real necessity arises, as they resent root disturbance at 
any time. Live sphagnum moss pressed firmly among the roots makes a 
suitable compost, and broken crocks may be added to make the whole 
Porous. Ample drainage is necessary, and each stem should be made 
“cure, and the moss sprinkled with water whenever it becomes dry. The 
plants should be stood on a damp bottom, and a temperature of 60° to 
65° F. maintained. 
ANGR&CUMS.—These interesting plants require the warmth of the East 
Indian house the whole year round, and a reasonable amount of atmospheric 
Moisture should be retained at all seasons. Being evergreen, they must 
not be allowed to remain dry for any length of time. A. sesquipedale is the 
best-known, but all the large-growing species, with the hybrid A. Veitchil, 
thrive under the same conditions. The smaller-flowered kinds which bloom 
during winter and early spring, require the same conditions as regards heat 
and Moisture, but owing to their diminutive stature they are best grown 
Suspended near the glass where they can receive all the light possible. >
