HOUIaZiETIA. A small group of epiphytes with large, 
loosely arranged racemes of flowers, which are not 
only very fragrant, but are most curious and quaint; 
they are well worth cultivating on account of their 
distinctness. They grow best in pots with peat and 
good drainage, and like a liberal supply of water when 
growing.

IilEItlA. This is a lovel,\- gonus, and one of the most 
valuable of epiphytal Orchids, most of the species be- 
ing vigorous and comi)act in growth, with evergreen 
leaves much like the Cattleyas, to which they are 
closely allied — many are of eciual beauty when in 
bloom. Their flowers, which are large and distinct, in 
color and very handsome, are pi-oduced on spikes of 
various lengths, from the top of pseudo-bulbs. They 
are unsurpassed for cut-flower purposes. Some of 
them may be grown ui)on blocks or rafts, though thc.\' 
will all thrive better in baskets or pots, with a compost 
of flbrouSfpeat and good drainage.

LYCASTE. Most of the Lycastes are very useful Or- 
chids. Their beautiful and very substantial flowers, 
and their free-blooming habit, make them one of the 
best and most profitable, which we can safely recom- 
mend. Several fine varieties have appeared during the 
past few years, chiefly belonging to the L. ShuineHi 
type, and differing very much from each other in color. 
Ltjcantc Skiiiiinii is the best one among the many 
known species, as its lasting qualities are unsurpassed, 
the flowers often holding as long as three months. 
The plants belonging to this genus are of easy culture; 
they should be potted in peat, with good drainage, and 
never allowed to get dry.

IVIAXIIiIiABIA. A very interesting and free-grow- 
ing species. The flowers are pi-etty and sweet scented ; 
are all of evergreen habit, and can be successfully grown 
in either the intermediate house or cool house. They 
succeed best grown in pots in peat and moss, and re- 
(luire a liberal supply of water while growing.
