The bulbs on some plants of C. labiata now have the sheaths well de- veloped and probably occasional flow- ers can be had in late August or early September. Do not shade the plants heavily. Give the plants a good light; never mind if the foliage is not a dark green, for you will ^ways find the paler ones flower the best. Cattleya Dowiana. The yellow cattleyas are not so much grown commercially as other varieties. They are beautiful, but not so easy of culture as many others. They like more heat, and unless they are grown in close proximity to the glass will not flower satisfactorily. The plants never have the healthy green look of other cat- tleyas, but plants of a real golden hue will flower finely if given sufficient heat and not shaded too heavily. Cattleya Seedlings. Cattleya seedlings are now making wonderful headway, and, in order that the pots containing them may not be al- lowed to become too root-bound, shifts are necessary all through the summer season. Never mind if the little plants are in active growth; they will not mind any potting done carefully. In this connection be it remembered that most of these hybrids make two leads a year and should never be really rested. Chop the fern fiber and fresh sphagnum quite fine for small seedlings, and until they are of a moderate size a considerable number can be grown together in each pot. These seedlings enjoy a warmer and closer house than plants of flowering size. Phaius. In commo
