JUNE, 1907.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 167 
CyMBIDIUMS.—The attractive and long-lasting C. Lowianum and the 
beautiful but rather more difficult C. eburneum, will now be over, likewise 
the many beautiful hybrid varieties from them, and potting may at once be 
taken in hand. My remarks in the February Calendar on Cymbidiums will 
be applicable to these. 
C. Devonianum and C. Huttoni are varieties that are best suited when 
grown in the coolest part of the Intermediate house, and potted in a 
compost of two parts loam to one part each of peat and leaf soil, with some 
crocks and sand added. Give good drainage, and place them well up to 
the light. During active growth they require plenty of water, but keep 
them rather on the dry side during the dull days of winter. 
C. insigne (Sanderi) is proving itself to be one of the finest of Orchids, 
and one which I feel sure will be quite as popular and as easy to cultivate 
as C. Lowianum. We have given ours the same compost as advised in 
the February Calendar, and they have a position in the Odontoglossum 
house, where they are growing very well. They seem to need copious 
supplies of water when growing freely; in fact we are treating ours in 
precisely the same way as such varieties as C. Lowianum and C, 
Tracyanum. 
C. erythrostylum is another great acquisition, and one that will 
probably prove very useful to the hybridist, besides being a grand 
plant for the collection. This also seems to need ordinary Cymbidium 
treatment. 
ANGULOoAS.—A. eburnea and A. Clowesii will be ready for potting, and 
soon following them will be the rather late flowering A. Ruckeri and 
A. uniflora. Soon after the flowering season is past, or if they are not 
producing flowers just when the new growth is nicely started, is the season 
when potting should be done. They are heavy feeders, and soon exhaust 
the compost, so that it is well to pot them at least every other year; in 
fact I consider the best results are attained by repotting annually, in a 
compost of two parts good loam to one part each of peat and leaf soil, with 
some sand and small crocks. Fill the pots one-third of its depth with 
drainage, and place some rough material over to prevent the fine parts from 
working down. Pot moderately firmly, and keep the compost rather below 
the rim of the pot. They will not require much water for some time after 
potting, but frequent dampings between the pots will be helpful. As the 
growths develop the supply of water must be increased considerably, and an 
abundant supply should be given till the new pseudobulb is fully developed, 
when the supply may be considerably reduced, and very little will be 
needed during the resting season. A position in the Cool intermediate 
house will be very suitable, shading them from all strong sunshine during 
the growing season.
