110 THE ORCHID REVIEW [APRIL, 1915, 
‘sphagnum moss, when they will soon commence to grow, and may then be 
repotted and treated as advised for the older examples. These Orchids 
require the very lightest and best position available in the hottest house, 
but during the earlier stages of growth, and until the plants are well 
established, the young foliage, when unfolding, is very tender, and should 
not be exposed to strong sunshine. In houses having a southern aspect it 
‘may be difficult to shade these Calanthes without shading other plants that 
need more sunshine. To meet the difficulty, the roof glass immediately 
-over the Calanthes may be stippled as lightly as possible, or a thin piece of 
tiffany tacked over them. 
Several varieties of the C. Regnieri section are now in bloom, and as 
soon as the spikes are cut these plants, too, may be repotted. Young 
seedlings should also be repotted, placing five or six of the small pseudo- 
‘bulbs around the rim of the smallest sized pots, and then suspending them 
near to the roof glass of a warm moist propagating house. 
The rare Eulophia guineensis may be treated exactly as the Calanthes 
as regards potting, watering, and resting, but it does not, while growing, 
require such a light position. When grown well, this Eulophia is a 
beautiful plant, producing, during autumn, strong spikes of large rose-lipped 
flowers, which last long in perfection. 
CATASETUM, CYCNOCHES AND MorMopEs.—As stated in some of the 
-earlier volumes of the Orchid Review, few groups of plants produce such 
remarkable.and interesting flowers as these, their quaint distinctiveness 
forming alone sufficient reason to induce their extended cultivation. After 
-a long decided winter rest these Orchids are now commencing to grow, and 
must therefore be no longer kept under resting treatment. Immediately 
young growths appear at the base of the pseudobulbs, shake the plants out of 
the old compost, cut away all dead roots and decayed parts, and repot them. 
The most suitable receptacle is the ordinary flower pot, with three holes 
_just under the rim, and copper wire handles, about a foot or eighteen inches 
in length, these being convenient for hanging the plants close to the roof 
glass. Over-potting must be strictly guarded against, but the most 
vigorous and stronger-rooting species will need rather large pots. Plenty 
of drainage materials are essential, and for the compost use chopped 
-osmunda fibre, which should be firmly packed around the base of the 
pseudobulbs,. Suspend the plants on the lightest side of the hottest house, 
and, as regards watering, &c., treat them exactly as advised for the 
deciduous Calanthes. From time to time many of these wonderful plants 
have been imported, but after blooming for a year or two have become 
exhausted, and in the majority of cases has disappeared. One of the 
principal details in the successful cultivation of these plants is to grow 
them on as. quickly as possible, so that the new pseudobulbs may be
