June /, blooms were judged are: Substance 40, shape 20, color 20, arrangement 10, size 10; total 100. The society will give a rose show in June, one for vegetables and plants in September, and one for chrysanthemums in November. A bulb show is in contem- plation for next Seasonable Notes. Odontoglossumscrispuni and I'cscatorei will now have started new growths and will require attention (if not alreadj' done). See that they all have proper drainage and ventilation or many new growths will be lost on hot muggy days. If they show signs of impiopcr drainage take them carefully out of ])ot, remove all sour potting material and put them into clean pots three fourths lull of clean broken pots or bricks, but be sure not to give them too large a shift as they do far better in moderate sized pots. As soon as the new growths are showing strong roots at the base increase the watering and when the bulbs are making up their shape copious supplies will be necessarj'. Never allow the house to become dry and hot; give copious supplies of fresh air, but do not expose them to drafts of cool air which in the summer season means dry- ing up both house and plants. Odonto- glossum grande, O. Harrjanum and O. Insleyi will take a little stronger heat, light and somewhat drier atmosphere, such as the cattleya or lycaste tribe like. Lselias aiiceps, autumnalis, albida, etc. will now have commenced growth and will require a slight increase of moisture, but do not water too copiously to start with; let the roots be well lengthened and the weathei- warm before they get heavy waterings, but like the odontoglossunis, when the bulbs are making up and with plenty of ventilation they can scarcely get too much water night or Aay until the flower scapes are well developed, then gradually withhold water and after the flower is cut jmt them away in some convenient place giving enough water
