water is required at all. Laelia anceps should be 
kept in the same house as the Cattleyas, placing it in 
the warmest end. Suspend the baskets containing it 
in a light position near the glass, and allow rather a 
higher temperature while the plants are making fresh 
growth with plenty of moisture by dipping the bas¬ 
kets into the tank. If you are keeping your stove 
now at a temperature of 6o° by night with a rise of 
io° to 15 0 by day with sun heat that should suffice. 
Turfing a Lawn. — IV. Murcher : It is merely a 
question of frequent watering in order to secure 
success, when turfing is done at this late period of 
the year, as there is now no time for the grass to get 
established before the usual or probable dry weather 
sets in. Get the ground dug over and properly 
levelled, then rake the surface even so that when the 
turf is laid on it will beat down evenly all over. The 
great point is to so dig and break up the soil that 
when afterwards trodden it will sink equally all over. 
After the turf is laid, give it a thorough watering and 
leave it for a time until the superfluous water drains 
away, then beat it down firmly and evenly all over.
