ONCIDIUMS 
ONCIDIUM 
AMPLIATUM 
VAR. MAJUS 
Is one of the finest yellow 
gems of the Oncidium in 
cultivation. The _ large 
bright yellow flowers are 
produced in abundance, on 
a long branching spike 
often three to five feet 
long, in March, April, May 
and sometimes will last to 
June. This is the best va- 
riety of the genus, being 
the most robust and beau- 
tiful. Always a sensation 
at the spring flower 
shows. Some growers 
have produced exceptional 
specimens with organic 
fertilizers during the 
growing season.

ONCIDIUM AMPLIATUM VAR. MAJUS 
CALANTHE SPRAY ORCHID 
This terrestrial orchid from India is easily grown in a rich loam soil. 
Repot March-April with good drainage in the bottom of the pot. Gen- 
erally, 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 bimonthly feedings of weak fertilizer solutions of any 
good organic fertilizer (blood—sheep manure) or inorganic fertilizer 
(Wilson’s Orchid Fertilizer, 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 Thanks- 
giving and last until after New Year.
