SlEBRECHT & WaDLEY'S CATALOGUE OF 
liiEIjIA. This is a lovely and valuable genus of epi- 
phytal Orchids, most of tlie species being vigorous and 
compact in growth, with evergreen leaves much like 
the Cattleyas, to which they are closely allied. Their 
flowers, which are large and distinct in color and very 
handsome, are produced on spikes from the top of 
pseudo-bulbs. They are unsurpassed for cut-flower 
purposes. Some of them may be grown upon blocks 
or rafts, though they will all thrive better in baskets or 
pots, with a compost of fibrous peat and good drainage.

liYCASTE. Thebeautiful and very substantial flowers 
of the Lycastes, and their free-blooming habit, make 
them very popular and profitable. Several fine varie- 
ties have appeared during the past few years, chiefly 
belonging to the L. Skinnerii type, but differing very 
much in color. Lycaste Skinnerii is the best among 
the many known species, as its lasting qualities are 
unsurpassed, the flowers often remaining perfect for 
three months. The Lycastes are of easy culture ; 
they should be potted in peat, with good drainage, and 
never allowed to get dry.
