JULY, 1910.) THE ORCHID REVIEW. 203 
ANGULOaS will now be in flower, and should have copious supplies of 
water, which should be continued until the bulbs are fully made up, when 
the supply must gradually be reduced. The plants should be frequently 
examined for the large white scale, which is easily removed with a moist 
sponge. 
_ BIFRENERIA HaRRISON& is now growing freely, and, if in need of new 
material, should now be repotted, using Osmunda fibre for compost. Pot 
moderately firmly, and water sparingly till well rooted. If placed at the 
warm end of the Intermediate house they grow and flower without trouble. 
The allied species require similar treatment. 
CaTTLEyas.—C. Warscewiczii (gigas) will be in flower this month, and 
should have copious supplies of water until the flowers are off, when the 
supply must be gradually reduced till it can almost be done without. Many 
growers prefer to pot this Cattleya after flowering, but I think the operation 
is best left till springtime. It requires a severe rest, and when hopes of 
flowering it again next season be entertained it is impossible to give the 
required rest if disturbed at the root at this season. CC. Gaskelliana is 
now rapidly making new growth, and some of the more advanced are already 
showing their flower sheaths. C. X Hardyana and its varieties, with C. 
x Fabia, C. X Mantinii and C. Bowringiana, are now growing freely, and 
should have the supply of water gradually increased. C. Trianz is showing 
signs of starting, but should not be hurried, giving only sufficient water to 
keep the bulbs plump. There is also a host of Cattleya hybrids of various 
parentages, some in flower, some in sheath, and some commencing to grow. 
_ They are too numerous to enumerate, and must be left to the grower’s own 
guidance, as some do better in one place than another, and owing to the 
intercrossing of different sections of the genus, it is only by personal obser- 
vation that success in their culture can be assured. Keep the young growths 
free from scale, which can be removed with a moist sponge, but care should 
be taken when sponging so as not to bruise the young growths or leaves, or 
they may be permanently disfigured. 
Ca@LoGyYNgEs.—C. Massangeana, C. Dayana, and C. tomentosa, hanging 
from the roof at the warm end of the Cattleya house, are now well rooted, 
and should have copious supplies of water until the new bulbs are fully 
made up, when the supply must gradually be reduced. C. pandurata is 
now well rooted, and should have the supply of water increased to meet 
requirements, being careful that none is allowed to lodge in the young 
growth, for if allowed to do so decay will quickly set in and the growth will 
be lost. In the Intermediate house C. cristata and its varieties will also be 
rooting freely, and should now be well supplied with water. A sharp watch 
should be kept for the small brown scale, which if once allowed to get a 
firm hold upon these plants is very difficult to get rid of. They should be
