CONCENTRATE YOUR SHOT 
When I am asked what kinds of Orchids are 
most suitable for amateur growers as house 
plants, I always say Cattleya Orchids. There 
are at least 10,000 different kinds available to 
bloom at different times of the year, and the 
color variety is endless. With rare exception 
they require the same culture. Since they are 
by far the most beautiful of all Orchids and 
also the largest flowering kind (some flowers are 
10 inches in diameter), I know the beginner is 
certain to be pleased when he sees his first 
flowers. 
Where one can give a Vanda space in his 
home or greenhouse, I also recommend them. 
However, they require different growing condi- 
tions. They must have a sunny spot or full 
light from morning to sundown. If you have 
such a location you will also find these easy to 
grow. 
Vandas produce small flowers, usually from 
one to two inches in size. The very rare ones 
produce larger flowers. Some Vandas, like Miss 
Joaquim, are free bloomers. They will often 
bloom two and three times a year. As the plant 
gets older it becomes more prolific and large 
speciments are seldom out of bloom. Vanda 
Teres is an exquisite dark gold and rose color 
blooming only between Easter and July. These 
are two of the inexpensive varieties. The Vanda 
Joaquim is the flower given away by the millions 
each year as gifts by stores running special sales 
or on other occasions.
