BURLINGTONIA: (Syn. Rodriguezia)

lip, which is stained with yellow; excellent keepers, 
exceedingly fragrant, requiring plenty of heat and 
moisture and should be potted small in a compost of 
two-thirds osmunda and one-third sphagnum moss.

CALANTHE 
A handsome family of decidious orchids belonging to 
the terrestrial section. They are grown best potted 
small in a mix+ure of chopped fibrous loam, a little 
sand and good brown osmuda fibre, and should be 
well supplied with drainage. The bulbs should be 
set in the compost only deeply enough to hold them 
firmly in position. A moderate shading of the glass is 
necessary until the bulbs are matured. After potting, 
water should be given sparingly until root action 
starts and a warm moist atmosphere is essential. 
When vigorous growth begins, give an abundance of 
water to stimulate growth through the summer. Water¬ 
ing with weak liquid cow manure once a week is 
beneficial when the plants are growing. During the 
late summer the leaves wither and begin to drop and 
the flower spike appears. The bulbs should then 
be fully grown and water should be given sparingly, 
witholding it more and more until the flowers are 
cut, when water should be withheld entirely and the 
bulbs given a complete rest by remaining dry until 
new root action appears at which time they should 
be removed from the pot, separated, and started off

CATASETUM 
The flowers are among the most wonderful in the 
orchid family. Apart from their remarkable structure, 
they have both male and female flowers which differ 
in color and structure and are usually carried on 
separate spikes. They are easy to grow and like 
an abundance of heat and moisture when growing, 
and afterward a well marked period of rest and do 
well with tropical Denbrobiums. When the leaves, 
Calanthe.
