GEASEA NGIBEE  PeRFASY = SQ ikeC: Ein) 
This terrestial orchid from India is easily grown in a rich loam soil. (Repot March- 
April) with good drainage in the bottom of the pot. Generally bulbs should be 
potted in a 5” or 6” pot. ‘The bulbs should be planted about one inch below the 
larger end of the bulb so that the new growths will sprout easily and develop. 
Water after potting but do not keep too wet until roots begin to form from new 
growths. They like weekly or bi-monthly feedings of weak fertilizer solutions of 
any good organic fertilizer (Hyponex—blood—sheep manure) or inorganic fer- 
tilizers as (Vigoro—nutrient solutions, etc.). The growth should produce large 
leaves and finish the bulbs in July. Then begin a slight withholding of water as 
the bulbs want a rest for maturing before flowering. The leaves will drop off and 
the spike start to emerge from the base of the bulb in October. The long arching 
sprays will be open around Thanksgiving and last until after New Year. These 
are hybrid bulbs of the variety Veitchi. Sepals and petals are white and the lip is 
rose-carmine. 
Limited supply of bulbs (dormant) at $3.00 per plant.
