In order to in- crease their power of suction, cut a little off the ends of their roots; these are mostly wilted and dried at the ends, and this cutting off prepares them better for their prospective work. If planted at once on receipt, in flats, to be thus stored away, this extra soaking process cannot be attended to so thoroughly. WiNFEIED ROLKER. New York, November, Some Florists'Cattleyas. There is a number of truly beautiful varieties of this popular orchid in cultiva- tion, many of which would make a most pleasing effect among any floral arrange- ment, but they unfortunately are either beyond the reach of a florist's pocket (commercially speaking) or produce flowers at a season when low prices are prevalent viz:-during the summer months, although in some sections, we hear of summer blooming cattleyas being largely used for steamer work. Florists' cattleyas are not numerous, especially those that in every way possess first-class qualities, such as can be pro- cured at a reasonable figure and produce blossoms that are large, durable, and pleasing in color, together with a free flowering habit, easy growth, and at a useful flowering season. To secure a supply of flowers during the winter months the following kinds possess the qualities above mentioned. Cattley a Gaskelliana; nearly ten years of culture has made this a well known plant and owing to its very free habit it has become universally popular. Flowers 5 to 7 inch
