CHTSIS. This is a beautiful genus, producing showy 
flowers in lateral racemes with the young growth ; of 
easy culture. They are best grown in baskets or pots 
in peat and moss, with good drainage. Flowers pure 
white to golden brown. 
*C. aurea Sil 50 to «3 50 
*C. bractescens 1 50 to 3 50 
CCEI.IA. A small genus of epiphytes, the base of whose 
stems eventually thicken into bulbs. They throw up 
from the base of the bulbs dense racemes of good sized 
flowers on short erect scapes. These plants do best in 
pots with peat and sphagnum moss and a little char- 
coal ; very free-growing and free-flowering. 
*C. bella $1 50 to $2 50 
*C. macrostachya 75 to 1 50 
CiELOGYNE. There are numerous species of Coelog- 
ynes, many of them very beautiful, the colorof the flow- 
ers being generally pure white, with rich yellow throats, 
and often richly marked. The pseudo-bulbous and 
evergreen foliage presents a very interesting appear- 
ance even when not in bloom. The flowers are gener- 
nlly produced with the young growths, and are excel- 
lent for cut-flower purposes, measuring often as much 
as three inches across. The.y should be grown in a pot 
with peat and moss, with a liberal supply of water 
when growing. 
*C. cristata. One of the best for cut 
blooms ; free gi-ower $1 00 to §2 00

C. pandurata 15 00 to 25 00 
C. speciosa 3 50 to 5 00 
CORTAIfTHES macrantha. The flowers of this 
plant are very curious objects. They are of large 
size, and just before they open greatl.y resemble a 
Chinese foot. The.v are produced from the base of 
the bulb on a pendulous raceme. They should be grown 
in baskets with peat and moss, and given good drain- 
age. S2.50 to .*5. 
CYFBIFEDIUM. This remarkably distinct genus 
consists partly of terrestrial and i)artl.v of epiphytal 
species, but the tropical species included in this list 
are all epiphytes. They have mostly very short stems, 
bearing leathery leaves, from the base of which the sev- 
eral flower scapes issue. Many of the Cypripi'des have 
well-marked foliage as w<!ll as flowers, and on this ac- 
count ought to have a place in ever.y collection. The 
form of the flowers is curious, the usually conspicu- 
ous parts being the dorsal sepal, erect and highly col- 
ored, two spreading petals and a slipper-formed pouch 
or lip, on account of which the genus is called "Lady's 
or Venus's Slipper." There are now a lai'ge number 
of hybrid Cyjiripediums which are vei-y flne and dis- 
tinct, and many of them are certainly an improvement
