_THE ORCHID REVIEW. 219 
pure tobacco-leaf is much less hurtful. Pot each plant just as it is 
beginning to make new growth, no matter at what time of the year. Shade 
from sunshine, but not during the evening and dull weather. Damp down 
in summer three times a day; in winter, use discretion in accordance with 
the weather. Should this treatment be different from what they have had, 
a few more leaves may probably turn yellow at first, showing the weak 
constitution of the plants; but persevere in the above treatment, and 
success is sure to follow ultimately. 
“Can Orchids be grown in a Wardian case?” is a question which 
comes from across the “Atlantic.” I am not prepared to answer with a 
great amount of authority; yet I see no reason why some species of 
Orchids should not give a reasonable amount of satisfaction if grown in a 
large ventilated case in a light window ina well-ventilated room—that is, 
supposing no gas is used, and their natural requirements be kept in view. 
I would advise for a trial, as being the most likely to grow, the Mexican 
and Brazilian Cattleyas and Lelias, with perhaps a plant each of Cypri- 
pedium insigne and Ccelogyne cristata.
