water, and an occasional dose of weak liquid manure will be beneficial, 
When growth is completed, gradually diminish the supply of moisture at 
the root, just enough being given to prevent undue shrivelling. Anguloas 
are Intermediate house plants, and a cool and shady position will suit them. 
Sponge over the large leaves frequently to keep them free from scale and 
red-spider. 
Where many different species of Coelogyne are grown, some or other will 
be in bloom throughout a considerable period of the year, and there- 
fore they will not all require re-potting at the same time. The best time 
for this operation is when they are starting into new growth, and the 
ordinary compost of peat and moss, in equal proportions, should be used. 
During the growing season, syringing the plants slightly overhead after a 
hot day will help them to make clean, strong and healthy growths. 
Coelogynes appreciate plenty of light but not sunshine, and abundance of 
water when growing. During their short period of rest the compost should 
be kept just moist. The Cattleya or Intermediate house is the proper place 
for the following Ccelogynes:—C. barbata, C. elata, C. corrugata, C. 
glandulosa, C. conferta, C. ocellata, C. speciosa, C. fuliginosa, and C. 
Sanderiana. I used to grow C. Massangeana and C. tomentosa in the East 
Indian house, but I find they grow stronger and bloom more freely when 
placed in a lower temperature with the varieties just mentioned. Last 
year C. Massangeana produced fourteen new bulbs, and flowered freely for 
several months, and nowit is pushing up twenty strong growths. C. Dayana 
also does well hanging up in the Cattleya house, but those that come from 
the hot lowlands, such as C. asperata, C. peltastes, C. Cumingil and C. 
Foerstermanni, should be grown in the hottest house, with partial shade. 
Such plants as Dendrobium infundibulum, and its variety Jamesianum

the Chimaira section that have been wintered in the Intermediate hous 
may now with safety be removed to their summer quarters in the fe

the East Indian to 65°-70°, the Intermediate or Cattleya house to Of
