MEDINILLA MAGNIFICA. 
HIS plant when in flower is one of the 
most showy and effective of stove 
plants. It is moreover one not much 
troubled with insects, and grows freely 
in a stove temperature ; in a mixture of loam, 
peat, and sand suits it admirably. Cuttings 
of the young wood root freely in pots filled 
with sandy peat plunged in a gentle bottom 
heat. The cuttings as soon as rooted, should 
be potted off singly, and plunged in bottom 
heat. As soon as they begin to fill the pots 
with roots, they should be shifted into others 
of larger size. They will take three or four 
shifts the first season, after that one or two 
shifts in the season will suffice, if the shifts 
be liberal. The plants should be trained into 
form, so as to make nice bushes.—M. Saul, 
York. 
VANDA TEEES. 
SW NOVEL method of growing this 
reputedly shy-blooming plant is 
/Q) adopted by Mr. E. Hill, gardener to 
Sir Nathaniel de Rothschild, Bart., M.P., 
and as the test of time has proved by the 
annual profuse supply of bloom that the sys¬ 
tem is good, a short description of it will be 
useful to many who are each year disappointed 
by their own plants. In the front of a warm 
three-quarter-span house with sunny aspect, 
and similar in most respects to an ordinary 
melon or cucumber-house and having a gently 
heated water tank running along it, Mr. Hill 
has placed a good layer of charcoal over the 
tank, and on that planted out about two 
hundred pieces of Vanda teres in living sphag¬ 
num moss. The plants are kept always 
moist, and the full light of the sun is let in on 
them, and beyond this Mr. Hill does not think 
any special treatment necessary. When 
coming into bloom a month or two since, they 
presented a wonderful sight, each point being 
furnished with one or two flower spikes, each 
spike bearing several large wax-like, rose- 
coloured flowers. 
The end certainly justifies the means em¬ 
ployed to bring it about, and no care or trouble 
would be regretted by any who could secure 
such a display, or even a lesser one in pro¬ 
portion to the number of plants at their dis-
