ou the original types, but are as yet 
expensive. The following is a list of 
the cheapest and most useful sorts. 
These plants are of easy <'ulture, and 
require but little space; although most 
of them need the same temperature as 
the East Indian section, yet many may 
be grown in a warm greenhouse.

CTRTOFODnnO. These are large growing plants, 
and are well worth cultivating, for if well grown they 
are noble objects, even when not in bloom. The flow- 
ers are large and showy ; they are produi^ed with the 
young growths in spring. The best soil is a rich fi- 
brous loam, mixed with manure in order to produce a 
vigorous growth.

DENSROBIUmS. The Dendrobes are a very exten- 
sive as well as a magnificent genus of Orchids, mostl.v 
consisting of plants with tall jointed terete stems or 
bulbs, bearing lateral or pseudo-terminal racemes of 
handsome flowers, especially fine for cutting. Some 
of the varieties produce very large and showy flowers, 
which are delicate in color and delightfully fragrant; 
many of them blossom very freely, and are highly ef- 
fective. Quite a few are evergreen, retaining their 
foliage all the year round, while others are deciduous, 
producing their flowers on the ripened leafless stems. 
So extensive is this genus, and so different their habits 
that it requires a variety of treatment; hence, the de- 
ciduous varieties must be kept in a cool atmosphere 
during winter, while during summer sufficient heat is 
easil.v procured for their growth. They grow best in 
baskets, and while growing should never got dry.
