nevium, O. Krameri, the whole of the Masdevallias, but particularly 
M. tovarensis, M. ephippium (Trochilus). M. Shuttleworthii, M. macrura, 
all the Chimera section, the cool-growing Lycastes, Sophronitis grandiflora, 
and the Pleiones. The vacant spaces thus created in the cool house might 
conveniently be filled during the Winter with the cool-resting Dendrobiums 
mentioned last month. 
Lelias pumila and Dayana are just now showing for bloom. These 
also do well in the Cool house during Summer, but should now be removed 
to the Intermediate house, where the. flowers will come much finer. The 
deciduous Calanthes are now commencing to push up their spikes. Keep 
them still in a nice warm temperature, but reduce the supplies of water, as 
they will not now require very much. Those of the Mexican Lelias that are 
producing their flower spikes should still have a sufficient amount of water 
until they bloom, or the strain upon the plant will be very great. Cattleya 
Lawrenceana, always a late one to form its new pseudobulbs, should now 
occupy the warmest department to enable it to do so quickly, as also should 
any late plants of C. superba and C. Eldorado.
