Hardy Cypripediums. — M. M., Aberdeen : For 
Cypripedium macrantlium in pots use a compost 
consisting chiefly of fibrous peat with a little fibrous 
loam to give it consistency. Drain the pots well and 
press the compost down firmly when potting. Keep 
the pots in a cool greenhouse, and in winter give just 
sufficient moisture to prevent the soil getting dry. 
When growth commences keep the plants in a well 
lighted place near the glass, but cool and shaded 
from direct sunshine. An abundance of water at 
the roots will be necessary while growing, and the 
plants should frequently be syringed until they are 
coming into bloom. This could be done in an 
unheated frame facing the north during the summer 
months and kept perfectly cool. When planted in 
the open air, a cool position facing the north or west 
should be chosen for C. spectabile. Make up a bed 
of peat, drain it well, and plant the rhizomes in it. 
In your part of the country a southern aspect would 
probably suit it better than any other as the climate 
is cooler. An occasional good watering should also 
be given while growth is proceeding. In the more 
sunny south we have seen it successfully cultivated 
in a bog bed where the roots are always saturated 
with moisture. As soon as the flowers wither, cut 
off the flowers to prevent seeds being produced, as 
they exhaust the fleshy rhizomes.
