AUGUST, 1910.] THE ORCHID REVIEW... 235 
also has germinated well this season, and raisers will soon be busy 
pricking off. 
CyYMBIDIUMS.—C. Lowianum, eburneum and eburneo-Lowianum will 
now be ready for repotting, using the compost and method as recommended 
in the February Calendar. Plants of C. Tracyanum that were potted earlier 
in the year will now be well rooted, and should have copious.supplies of 
water, but one must be sure that they are well rooted before giving much. 
The grower must use judgment, and pick out those that are not well rooted, 
for if these are saturated the few roots they may possess will rot and the 
plant deteriorate. 
LALIA ANCEPS will now be well rooted and growing strongly, and should 
have copious supplies of water at the roots, and also be frequently syringed 
overhead. The old bulbs that were taken off when potting, and placed 
together in pans, will now be ready for potting up in the usual way. 
MiLtTonias.—M. X Bluntii and its handsome variety Lubbersiana should 
be grown at the warm end of the Intermediate house, and will now have 
their bulbs half made up, and should be given copious supplies of water. 
M. Warscewiczii, growing with them, will now be ready for repotting, if 
requiring it this season. Use the compost recommended in the June 
Calendar, and carefully water until well rooted again. 
OponToGLossumMs of the crispum section will now be over for the 
season, as far as the bulk of them is concerned, but where they are grown 
in quantity there are always a few in flower or spike, and they are always 
useful. Keep them as cool as possible, without having a harsh atmosphere 
in the house, and see that the house is well damped. The lower ventilators 
can be left open all night now, according to the conditions prevailing out- 
side; in fact, all departments are the better if the lower ventilators are left 
open a little during the night when the weather is warm enough, as it helps 
to make the growth more sturdy, and you do not find a stuffy feeling in the 
morning if this is judiciously attended to. 
Oncip1ums.—O. bicallosum will now be ready for repotting, but any 
plant that has got good sweet compost and room enough to make another 
season’s growth should not be disturbed. Those requiring repotting should 
be given pots large enough to last them two years, and be potted in a 
compost consisting of one-third each of Osmunda and polypodium fibres 
and sphagnum moss, well mixed together. Pot moderately firmly, and 
water carefully till well rooted. A light position in the Intermediate house 
suits them well. O. Cebolleta requires similar treatment, but should be 
grown in the Cattleya house, suspended either in pans or upon rafts. O. 
varicosum Rogersii and O. X Mantinii, in the Cool house, have now nearly 
completed their growths, and some of the more advanced are already 
throwing up their flower spikes. Abundance of water should be given them
