SUMMIT, NEW 
DENDROBIUM 
Dendrobiums are a genus of epiphytal Orchids containing many species of considerable horticultural 
merit. More than 300 in number, the species are distributed through the tropical countries of the Eastern 
Hemisphere, Australia, Japan, China, India and the Philippine Islands furnishing large quantities. Most 
of the commercial Dendrobiums are easily cultivated, and their brightly-colored, serviceable flowers are 
freely produced. In dealing with such an extensive genus, having so many different forms, it is but natural 
that the mode of culture should vary somewhat, but their treatment can be understood and the desired 
result usually accomplished when it is borne in mind that as a general rule they require heat and abundance 
of moisture when growing, a season of cooler temperature and a reasonable exposure to air and light to 
ripen the growth, and a drier season to produce and mature the flowers, which are mostly large and showy 
delicately colored and quite fragrant. In habit, the plants vary from the dwarf and tufted, about three 
inches in height, to species with pseudo-bulbs growing three to four feet high and lusty in proportion A 
compost of fibrous peat and sphagnum moss, in equal parts, suits them best, and they should be grown 
in pans, hung near the glass. ‘ 6
