II. TERRESTRIAL TROPICAL ORCHIDEiE. 



POTTING AND SOIL. 



Much of what we have advanced when treating of tropical epiphytes is 

 also apphcable to those which are terrestrial also. Both require a season 

 of rest, and that season happens not to all species alike. A careful eye 

 must be kept upon them, for many of the herbaceous kinds die down to 

 the ground annually, and when that is observed, they should be removed 

 to a cooler place, and kept very dry, to prevent them from becoming 

 excited too soon. The winter is certainly the best time for this suspension 

 of growth, but there will be some in all large collections which A^ill 

 continue in growth at all seasons of the year.
