SOBRALIA 
A lovely family of terrestrials, free flowering and of 
easy culture. They have no pseudo-bulbs, but long 
slender stems. The flowers are produced singly but 
in succession; as one flower dies another takes its 
place. They resemble Cattleyas in shape and size. 
In color they range from pure white to rich purple. 
Good osmunda with about Vi sphagnum moss is a 
good compost. They like an abundance of water while 
growing, and while resting they should not be al¬ 
lowed to go quite dry. 
Saccolabium Blumei. 
Keinastiana, (Mexico) —Summer. Large flowers of a pure 
translucent white. 4-5 stems 7.50 
Keinastiana —Larger plants. 10.00-15.00 
SACCOLABIUM (The Fox Brush Orchid) 
Small beautiful flowers very closely set all around the 
long drooping racemes. The flowers are set so closely 
that they make a long solid mass of color, thereby 
deriving their name, The Fox Brush Or¬ 
chid. They like plenty of light and good 
drainage with a mixture of 2 /$ osmunda 
and moss and an abundance of 
water while growing. Even while rest¬ 
ing do not allow to go quite dry and 
keep the atmosphere bouyant. 
Ampullaceum, (India) —-Summer. Rare. Erect 
spikes 3-5" high with many small bright 
rose-carmine flowers. 6-8 leaves 15.00 
Blumei, (India) —Summer. A very beautiful 
species. (See Rhyncostylis Blumei for 
description). 
(Note: —We have a few fine seeding Sac¬ 
colabium Blumei Majus to flower in their 
next season, priced from $7.50 to $15.00, 
depending on size and strength). 
SCHOMBURGKIA 
These are strong growing orchids allied 
to Laelias. In nature they are found 
growing fully exposed to the tropical 
sun, hence they require little shade in 
cultivation. During the summer it is con¬ 
venient to grow them with Dendrobiums, 
and in winter with the Cattleyas. The 
compost is similar to Cattleyas also, but 
they require more careful watering. They E 
should never be repotted unless abso¬ 
lutely necessary. It is all right if the * 
leading bulbs project over the edge of 
the pot.
