appear from and simultaneously with the new growths. Z. intermedium 
flowers about the same time, and in the same manner. Your plant is 
probably a variety of the latter, as the foliage of Z. crinitum (true) is rarely 
more than a foot long when fully matured. Zygopetalums should be 
repotted when flowering is past, in well-drained pots, in a compost of good 
fibrous loam and lumpy peat, after which they should be watered carefully 
until re-established. They will grow freely in the Intermediate house. 
Another correspondent asks, ‘“‘ What is the best manure for Orchids ?”’ 
This raises a very debatable point, and is not easy to answer. I do not 
recommend any generally, for in the strict sense none is needed. Some 
inexperienced growers think it is, and are not slow to advise, gratis, its use, 
without any real proof that it is good or otherwise. In earlier Calendars I 
mentioned a few Orchids, like Calanthes, Coelogyne cristata, &c., that may 
be benefited by a little weak guano water, or sheep manure water. But 
apart from these, manure is better left alone, or only experimented with 
very carefully.
