made from dairy manure, which has been soaked 
in water for two or three weeks, may be applied 
three times a year. (May 15th, July Ist, and Au- 
gust 15th). Plant so that the pseudo bulbs are 
at surface level and keep a good mulch of plain 
leafmold on the bed when planted out. 
Cymbidiums are not particularly sensitive to cold, 
withstanding a temperature of twenty-five degrees 
in perfect safety and even as low as twenty-four 
degrees in the coastal regions. Also, they are com- 
paratively free from pests. When pests are showing 
spray with Destruxol Orchid Spray or Red Arrow. 
With a balanced selection of early, medium and 
late blooming varieties, their period of bloom may 
be extended from October through June. The 
blooms on the plant retain their perfection of 
vitality and color from eight to ten weeks; the 
cut blossoms will last about 10 days and are, 
therefore, in great demand for corsages and flower 
arrangements. 
If the above simple instructions are followed, you 
will be amply rewarded with these graceful orchids 
which spell magic in any garden, patio or indoors.
