LEADING SPECIALTIES IN ORCHIDS. 15 COELOGYNE CRISTATA. " Spirit ; Amons? people of good taste and culture no Orchid that we grow so quickly excites enthusi- astic admiration as this one. Its beauty is of an exceedingly refined, spiritual sort of type that at once appeals to people of this same nature, and, fortunately, it is not so grossly particular about material conditions as to be difficult to grow. Indeed, it is among the easi- est of all Orchids to succeed with, the surest and freest-blooming of any. The flowers are delightfully fragrant, and, on a fine specimen, they droop thickly far below their pots in grace- ful, quivering sprays. The flowers are delight- fully fragrant, pure white, and almost trans- parent, showing just a glint of exquisite goldi'n yellow in the throat. Usually the first Orchid chosen for small collections, and always the pride of large ones. A native of the Hima- layas. $1 to $2. Laelia anceps. This beautiful Lfelia comes into bloom about Christmas, at whieli time it is the most beauti- ful of all Orchids, and greatly valued for cutting or decorations. Large specimens of it are re- markably handsome, producing as many as 20 scapes, bearing 100 or more fragrant flowers to Ccelogyne cristata. the rich hues of which no artist can do justice. The sepals and petals are rosy blush, the lip deep purple, shaded and marked with rose and yellow. From 4 to 6 blooms, about 4 inches across, are borne on a very tall scape. It is one of the easiest of all Orchids to manage; good specimens may be grown in maidenhair fern houses, and in similar atmospheres. Good plants of selected, finely colored varieties, $1 to $ General Collection of Orchids—Continued. BRASSAV
