A 
COLLECTION of Orchids that should be grown in a stove-plant house with a temperature of from 60 to 75 
degrees, and a considerable degree of moisture; known as "East Indian" or "Warm-house" Orchids, and 
including many magnificent species. 
ACACALIS cyanea. A very fine and distinct Orchid ; 
free, with charming blue flowers much of the beauti- 
ful color of Vamda cmruUa; very rare. The pseudo- 
bulds are ovate, one-leaved, and upwards of a foot long 
by three inches wide. Sepals and petals a lightish 
blue, and the lip a brownish purple, with pale veins. It 
should be grown on a block. $5 and upwards. 
AiBRIDES. The species of Aerides are amongst the 
most beautiful of East Indian Orchids, many of them 
uniting every good quality that a plant can possess, 
even when they are not in bloom. The stems are 
straight or slightly bent; the leaves, which are of a 
leathery texture, being attached on opposite sides, and 
they are nourished by large fleshy roots, shooting out 
horizontally from near the base. The flowers, which 
proceed from the axils of the leaves, extend in pendu- 
lous delicate racemes one to two feet in length, and are 
very fragrant. These plants are of easy cultui'e, and 
should be grown in pots or baskets with pot-sherds and 
moss, and good supply of water at all times.

ANQBiiECUni. A very curious genus of Orchids, all 
of them being very handsome, and desirable in every 
collection. In habit they resemble the Aerides, having 
much the same stems and leaves ; their flowers also are 
produced in a similar manner, but yet quite distinct 
and very different on account of their peculiar spur 
and their spreading sepal and petals. They require 
the same treatment as Aerides.

BATEMANN'IA. A small genus of dwarf plants, of 
free-flowering habit. The species are showy plants, 
and well worth growing, as they are easily accommo- 
dated. They should be grown in baskets or pots, with 
a liberal supply of water, and be potted in peat and 
moss. The very intei-esting flowers remain a long 
time in perfection.

BOLLEA, This genus consists of epiphytal plants, 
scarcely forming bulbs, having bold, evergreen foliage 
and one-flowered scapes, bearing large and most re- 
markable and curious flowers of an interesting char- 
acter. They are easily grown in a mixture of peat and 
moss, and need a good supply of water when growing. 
B. coelestis $5 00 to $10 00 
B. Lalindei 5 00 to 10 00 
B. Patinii 5 00 to 10 00 
CAI.ANTHE. A very distinct genus. The several 
species and garden hybrids are among the freest and 
most satisfactory Orchids, and therefore are great fa- 
vorites. Their very beautiful and also very useful 
flowers are produced on long spikes from two to three 
feet in length, and bloom in the most acceptable time. 
They are of easy culture; a few varieties are ever- 
green, but most of them are deciduous. The latter sorts 
require a decided period of i-est, while the evergreen 
varieties require to be kept moist all the year round. 
The majority of them are terrestrial Orchids ; there- 
fore they require to be potted in loam and leaf mould, 
with a liberal supply of water when growing.
