Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches. Gardening. MAXILLARIA rim of the pot when finished. JIaxillarias delight in a cool, moist, shaded looatiou at all seasons where the winter temperature will not exceed 58° F. by night and not over 60° or 65° by day. During summer they must be grown as cool as possible with ventilation at all sea- sons when admissible, especially in wet, heavy weather. Water should be given in abundance while the plants are growing and not too sparingly when at rest, as the plants are subject to spot if kept too dry. Weak liquid cow manure is benefici.al occasionally during root action. Maxillaria has two recognized horticultural groups or sections; viz., caulescent and stemless. The caulescent section embraces J/. (fHiiiYo/io, 3/. rnr(n6i7is and kindred species, having scandent rhizomes and often obscure flowers. These should all be grown under pot culture and afforded supports to climb on, such as small clin ders or rafts of open woodwork with a little crmpost worked in the openings, or Osmnnda ihizouK s un ited obliquely in the pots to which the |I iit lu itt ich themselves as they grow upward, an I tl i 1 u| | lu 1 with moisture for the young roots.
