CATTLEYA. 
The species of this popular genus rank 
among our finest Orchids ; they are general favor- 
ites, and we are glad to find that they are beginning to 
be extensively cultivated in this country. The pseudo- 
bulbs are, in many cases, elongated and thickened, and 
the dark, massive, evergreen foliage renders the plants 
peculiarly attractive. The flowers are all large and ele- 
gant, and can scarcely be surpassed for their sparkling 
richness and depth of color, the most frequent tints of 
which are violet, rose, crimson, magenta, white, yellow, 
mauve and purple, with their intermediate shades. The 
flower scape, which is enclosed in a sheath, issues from 
the lop of tlie stem, and a single spike sometimes con- 
tains as iiiany as from ten to twenty flowers. The 
plants arc easily grown in baskets or pots, with a com- 
post of fibrous peat and moss, good drainage and a lib- 
eral supply of moisture when growing : they should al- 
ways be shaded from the direct rays of the sun. (See 
view of one of our Cattleya houses.)
