THE FLORIST AND POMOLOGIST. 
[August, 
DURATION OF ORCHID FLOWERS. 
f NE principal object of the following list, 
communicated to L’Orchidophile by M. 
Petot, is to show that his small collec¬ 
tion of some 300 species and varieties, 
cultivated in one house, with Palms, Ferns, 
Gesnerads, &c., brings him a good return in 
the shape of flowers throughout the v 7 hole 
year. Odontoglossums and Masdevallias, he 
says, grow and flower in company with Yandas, 
Saccolabiums, Phalasnopsids, Dendrobiums, 
&c., the highland species being grown in the 
coolest and most ventilated part of the house, 
and the Indian island and tropical South 
American plants in the hottest parts.
