out of bloom, and are making new growths, may receive similar treatment. 
There are several small-growing members of this genus which flower at 
this season, and when in bloom are delightful subjects, owing to the 
quantity of blooms they produce. Care must be taken in potting not to 
overburden their roots with compost. The majority of these plants succeed 
in Intermediate house temperature during the summer months, and when 
well established, and in full growth, require an abundant supply of water at 
the roots. 
ANGULOAS that are pushing up their flower spikes are best potted 
directly the flowers fade. They are best grown in pots in the compost 
advised for the green-leaved Cypripediums, and must be given a light 
position in the Intermediate house. Care must: be taken that’no moisture 
is allowed to remain in the centre of the young growths. 
SaccoLaBiums, Aérides, and Angrecums that are in need of new 
rooting material should have attention at once, as, with the more favour- 
able conditions of growth, they will push roots rapidly. Any other plants 
of similar character may have attention at the same time, should they need 
it. A suitable compost for this class of plants is made up of equal portions 
of osmunda fibre and sphagnum moss, cut up moderately finely, and mixed 
well together, or all sphagnum moss and fine broken crocks can be used. 
CALANTHES.—Several varieties of the C. Regnieri section are now in 
bloom, and although these late-flowering varieties have not received the 
Same amount of attention as C. Veitchii and those that flower at the 
same season, they are useful and desirable Orchids. As soon as their 
flowers are faded these plants, too, may be repotted, and treated as advised 
for C. Veitchii and C. vestita. 
MAXILLartas.——As soon as the species which flowered during the winter 
months become active at the roots they should receive attention, if in need 
of new material. Pots, pans, or baskets are suitable receptacles, and a 
compast as advised for Odontoglossums will answer their requirements. 
Careful watering after disturbance is necessary, as in the case of any other 
Orchid. M. Sanderiana and others that flower at a later season should not 
be disturbed until their flowering period is over. All these will succeed 
either at the warm end of the Cool house or the Cool end of the Inter- 
mediate house. 
OponToGLossums.—These delightful plants are now so numerous, so 
complex in Parentage, and so varied in their season of growth, that some 
are in need of new material at almost every season, but if the compost is 
Sweet and healthy it is always advisable to defer potting until the cooler 
autumn months. 
GENERAL REMARKS. —With the present month we have reached that 
Season when work presses on apace, and Nature, in her demands, is very
