214 THE -ORCHIO REVIEW: [JULY, 1912. 
section of Odontoglossum resent being disturbed at the root, and, therefore, 
every means possible should be taken to induce the plants to re-establish 
themselves quickly. They should have new rooting material afforded them, 
if necessary, immediately they have passed out of flower. 
GENERAL REMARKS.—The work for the month will be a great deal like 
that of the previous one. Potting, watering, and the cleaning of the plants 
always take up much time, and the ventilation and shading of the houses 
and the maintenance of the proper temperatures, with a sufficiency of 
atmospheric moisture, will comprise the general routine of work. In every- 
thing taken in hand let it be done thoroughly, as, to be effectual, it must be 
done well.
