and insert them immediately before they get withered. Give a 
good watering through the rose of a watering pot and make the 
frames as air-tight as possible. Those inserted now will be ready 
to pot off in small pots before winter; but those done in October 
will not be fit for that purpose till spring. 
Potting Odontoglossum and Ccelogyne cristata — W . IP. : 
Generally speaking we should say it is not a very favourable 
time to pot the Orchids named unless there is great necessity for 
it. We should advise merely top-dressing those that have 
finished their growth or are in an advanced state, and wait till 
they have done flowering and just commencing to make fresh 
growth. Those that have just started into growth may with 
more safety be potted, as they have yet some time to get 
established before the sunless and cold autumn and winter 
months put a stop to growth. See that the drainage is good. 
Names of Plants.— S’. J. G. Read : Matricaria inodora (a very
