284 THE ORCHID REVIEW.  ‘{Seprember, 1913. 
When well matured they should be placed with the Dendrobiums in the 
resting-house, and treated as advised for that genus. 
MASDEVALLIAS.—The robust-growing species should have attention 
during the early weeks of the present month, should they require new 
rooting material. Although these plants are not grown to the extent they 
formerly were, there is no more beautiful object in our Cool houses than a 
well-grown specimen of any one of them. Their treatment has been fully 
dealt with in former numbers. 
ODoNTOGLOssuMs.—The repotting of these plants should be pushed on 
with, as it should be the aim of every cultivator as far as possible to get 
them all done as early as possible, so that they may become re-established 
before the winter sets in. All should be made clean and comfortable before 
that season arrives. 
ONCIDIUMS are usually represented by plants in flower, no matter what 
the time of year, especially if well grown, and how often a well-grown 
specimen, even of a most ordinary species, appeals to us! One very pretty 
and useful species now in flower is O. obryzatum, its long and much- 
branched spikes carrying large quantities of pretty golden yellow flowers, 
spotted with light brown, and this at a season when Orchid flowers are not 
over-plentiful in most collections. The plants belonging to the O. crispum 
section, namely, O. Forbesii, curtum, Gardneri, Marshallianum, and O. 
crispum itself, although not flattering to present-day Orchid growers, are 
most useful subjects, even if we cannot keep them in a robust condition 
over a series of years. O. Marshallianum produces its flowers during late 
spring and early summer, whilst the others display their beautiful sprays 
during late summer and autumn. O. varicosum is one of the most beautiful 
and free-flowering Orchids known, and those plants that are at the present 
time producing flower spikes should be placed well up to the light, the 
spikes, as they become long enough, being neatly staked up to prevent 
accidents. O. ornithorrhynchum and its beautiful variety album, with 
others that have been growing during the summer months in the Cool 
house, will be better taken and placed in a cool position in the Intermediate 
house for the winter months. Oncidiums, after flowering, should be rested, 
as they require a decided rest, but on no account should they be allowed to 
shrivel. 
MILTonIAs.—Continue to repot the plants of this genus as advised last 
month, but any that do not reach the desired condition during the present 
month will be better held over and potted with the late-flowering kinds in 
the early spring. The same remarks apply to any of the hybrids which 
have produced their flowers late, and have not yet commenced to grow. 
ANGRECUMS.—These and similar plants, such as Aérides, Vandas, 
Saccolabiums, and other epiphytic inmates of the Warm house, may now
