314 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
most of the plants from the other houses are brought into this cool house 
as they come into flower. Mr. Horner concludes by saying he is sure the 
this fine Orchid, like others of the cool class, can be grown without hest 
except in severe weather. Those who have not succeeded under other 
methods should take the hint, as it seems probable that too much heat hes 
been one of the chief causes of failure. It probably grows at a considerable 
elevation on the mountains.
