~ orin baskets. Flowers which are bcrne in spring and early summer occur 
on drooping stems, from six to seven to as many as twelve or fifteen on a 
stem. Flowers are large and round and very fragrant—white sepals and 
petals. Sometimes tinted flesh or rose on lip. This Orchid is somewhat 
variable in color. This Odontoglossum should be rested for four or five 
months after blooming. - $4.00 up. 
The best compost for growing these Orchids is about four parts sphag- 
num and one part of huminal peat. While they are not under glass we think 
this is the best growing medium. In hot weather they should be thoroughly 
soaked every three or four days and lightly sprinkled in between times. 
Like all Orchids, water should be withheld after blooming, giving them just 
enough to keep pseudo-bulb from shrivelling. It is better for Orchids to be 
too dry, rather than too wet. 
We grow and can supply a great many ccmparatively hardy Orchids 
besides the ones listed here. Contrary to a general impression, most of these 
‘Orchids are just as easy to grow and bloom, in fact, easier than are many 
plants which we have been cultivating in our gardens for years.
