Dendrobium Phalaenopsis is a most valuable early winter-flowering orchid. Some flowers already are open and many more will expand within another month. We grow this orchid success- fully by hanging it well up to the glass in a warm, moist stove house, removing the plants when in flower to the cattleya house. It succeeds best in small pans or baskets. As fifteen to twenty flowers are sometimes carried on a spike and several spikes are pro- duced on strong bulbs, this is an in- valuable orchid for groups, for table decorations or for cutting. Do not move it into a cool house as soon as the first flower opens, or there will be a probability that many of the buds will turn yellow. Dendrobium Nobile. Dendrobium nobile, the late winter flowering dendrobe, should now have its pseudo-bulbs well made up. All that have completed their growths should be hung in a sunny house and have their water supply much reduced; an occasional dip and a spray overhead on hot days will keep them plump. Leave plants with soft, immature bulbs a while longer in heat. Some of the nobile hybrids, such as D. euosmum, will soon be in flower. A few of the short- bulbed hybrid dendrobes, such as D. Juno, need a thorough baking to make them flower. Dendrobium Wardianum. Already I notice nodes showing on some of the earliest ripened of D. "Wardianum. This is one of the largest and most handsome of all dendrobes and one which flowers profusely each year. Unlike nobile, it loses all its foliage before flowering, but the blooms are so striking that the absence of leaves is hardly noticed. Keep' the ?lants dry at the root and fairly cool, his is necessary to prevent the plants from sending up a new lot of growths. Oalanthes. As the calanthes start to lose their foliage, gradually reduce the water sup- ply. Some growers imagine that no more water is needed when once
