should now be pushing forth new roots in profusion, which (supposing they 
require re-potting) are best to enter direct the fresh compost. Water 
carefully afterwards for a few weeks. About once in two or three years is 
often enough to re-pot these species, unless the leading pseudobulbs are 
over the rim of the pot. What a lovely display these have made this year, 
owing, no doubt, to the last exceptional summer, which must prove con- 
clusively that heat, light, and air are good for them when growing. 
Cattleya Trianz, too, should be attended to as they emit new roots. 
Cattleya gigas and its varieties are now pushing from the base. ‘These 
must not be disturbed at this season, but should occupy a high, dry, and 
sunny part of the Cattleya house, enough water only given to prevent 
shrivelling for about six weeks, otherwise they may not flower satisfactorily. 
Lelia Boothiana is another shy bloomer, and is best grown in the same 
manner as Cattleya gigas. The same may be said of C. Warneri, which 
starts to grow early, but it should not on that account be given extra 
warmth or moisture other than this house affords. It is preferable to 
retard the growth as much as possible until later in the season, as it is 
then much more easy to flower than when started too soon.
