CYMBIDIUM 
One of the finest, most satisfactory and useful of all 
Orchids, both for cutting, exhibition and decorative 
purposes. The long, (sometimes five feet) upright, arch¬ 
ing spikes with their many large flowers having prob¬ 
ably the largest color range of any genera, make this 
family one to be much desired in all orchid collections. 
Their ease of growing makes it possible for anyone to 
grow them successfully. An added feature is the un¬ 
usual lasting qualities of their flowers. On the plant 
a spike of flowers will last for well over two months, 
and we have kept them as a cut spray in good condi¬ 
tion for six weeks. 
As a potting compost we recommend the use of only 
a good osmunda fibre with plenty of drainage. They 
are cool growers and like a temperature of between 
fifty and sixty degrees, and when growing demand 
plenty of water. In the fall when the growths are 
about completed, water should gradually be withheld 
until the flower spikes appear at the base of the bulbs, 
at which time watering may be again increased until 
after the flowers have been cut. Pot early in the spring 
except for the late spring flowering types where we 
recommend the plants be potted immediately after 
flowering. We have had a great deal of success 
growing our Cymbidiums out of doors from early spring 
until late fall in a slat house. In doing this, it is 
necessary that the plants be placed upon a well- 
drained bed of stone, cinders, etc., and of course, being 
outside they will require more water and syringing as 
they naturally dry out faster. Some authorities recom¬ 
mend a light feeding of weak cow manure water while 
the plants are growing, and although we have tried 
this method we could see no marked difference in the 
size of spikes when flowered. 
We usually have a quantity of small nice propagated 
plants and seedling in Cymbidiums to grow on, at 
correspondingly lower prices than those listed for the 
flowering size stock, also fine strong specimens, prices 
of which we will be glad to furnish on request.
