be felt with regard to the consequences. Select each plint for removal 
when the new pseudobulb has produced its terminal leaf; the new bulb 
will gradually gain in dimensions in the cooler department, and also ripen 
at the same time. There may be some few kinds which start new growths 
again from the base, before the first are completed, but such second growths 
should be disregarded, as they usually take pretty good care of themselves. 
It is the first growths that are the main ones, and those should be alone 
studied and catered for. It is when Dendrobes are kept in growing temper- 
atures until very late in the season, in order to finish these second growths, 
that they are often very seriously injured by becoming weakly, and developing 
spot in its various forms. A few species, such for instance as D. formosum, 
should not be removed immediately the new pseudobulb is completed, 
because the flowers commence to push from the apex at once, and of 
course the drier and airier conditions would seriously affect them. The 
same may be said of D. Phalenopsis, D. superbiens, and all others which 
bloom directly new growth is completed. These latter should be allowed 
toremain in their genial growing departments, which, however, need not, 
and should not, be kept so warm as previously when making growths. 
A good few of the Cattleyas and Lzlias will likewise be near completing 
their new pseudobulbs. C. Warscewiczii, C. Gaskelliana, C. Rex, C. 
Warneri, as well as C. Leopoldi and C. granulosa, produce their blooms 
immediately, and should therefore have a_ liberal growing treatment 
accorded until their flowering season is past, but all others which have a 
short resting period before producing their spikes, are the better for a 
rather more airy and dry position than those which are still growing. 
This is not always easy to accomplish for want of the necessary space, 
but still, if such plants are collected together at one point of the house 
they may be the better catered for than when mixed up together. It is 
only for a month or so at this season of the year when this slight 
difference of treatment is needed. A few of these Cattleyas, for one reason 
or another, are sure to be late with their new grow-h, and it is obvious 
that such are benefited by a liberal treatment to hasten them along, 
whilst those which are early to form up would be better for less, so as to 
prevent secondary growth from appearing. C. Lawrenceana is always very 
late, and for this reason is better now if placed in the warmest department, 
as also are C. superba and Lueddemanniana, and all three should be 
liberally supplied with water. Any of the above summer blooming Cattleyas 
as C. Warscewiczii, C. Gaskelliana, C. Rex, C. Warneri, and C. x 
Hardyana, passing out of bloom not later than the month of August, may 
be repotted if such is required, and if done carefully and a chance is given 
them to become re-established, by keeping them more shady and moist 
than others not repotted, such work may be accomplished at this season
