Cattleya 
Under this heading we are listing a few cattleya orchids and hybrids’ with allied genera. 
They are all unflowered seedlings, healthy and mostly large enough to be transferred to the 
next larger size pots. In every case the 4” size plants are either in sheath or with proper 
care should flower on the next growth. In many cases even the 3” size should flower soon. 
Strictly speaking cattleya orchids are greenhouse plants but they may be grown successfully 
in a living room window or enclosed porch if sufficient light is provided, the night temperatures 
not allowed to fall below fifty degrees, and the plants. not watered too much. In watering 
it is safest to give the pot a good soaking and then not to water again until it is thoroughly dry. 
On hot days wet the leaves a little during the middle of the day.

laelia-cattleya.
