WEST ORANGE, N. J. 
BROUGHTONIA 
A small genus allied to Epidendrum and requiring 
similar culture. The plants quickly get into bad 
condition if the compost is allowed to become sod¬ 
den for any length of time hence they should be 
grown on rafts or in small pans ,and after growth 
has ceased, water must be given very occasionally, 
and the plants exposed to as much light as possible. 
A position near the glass is frequently the most 
suitable.

BULBOPHYLLUM 
(Warm and Intermediate) 
(From bulbos, a bulb, and phyllon, a leaf; refer¬ 
ring to the leaves issuing from the apex of the 
pseudo-bulb.) This genus includes some of the 
very smallest Orchids known, and many species 
produce flowers of a weird and almost uncanny na¬ 
ture. All are interesting botanically, and are easily 
grown in a warm moist heat and should never be 
allowed to become quite dry.

CALANTHE (Species) 
(Warm) 
(From Katas, beautiful, and anthos, a flower.) A 
handsome genus of stove, terrestrial Orchids, and 
mostly deciduous. For table decoration during mid¬ 
winter the species and their hybrids are extremely 
useful, producing as they do an abundance of flowers 
which last a long time in perfection. 
Their cultural requirements are simple, provided 
a command of heat is possible during the growing 
season. Being deciduous, they lose their leaves be¬ 
fore the flower spikes develop, and after flowering 
they take a short rest, but must be taken in hand 
for potting immediately they show signs of growing 
again. Pot in a mixture of rich loam and dried cow 
manure, adding some broken crocks to keep it open. 
Give very little water until good root progress is 
noticeable, after which more water should be grad¬ 
ually given, and when the pots are full of roots, 
manure water may be applied liberally. 
A good growing temperature is 70 degrees Fahren¬ 
heit at night, and as high as it is inclined to run up 
to in the day. Shade from bright sunlight must be 
given, otherwise the foliage will become yellow and 
fall off.
