Aiirides come next in favor to vaii- das, with loiifr racemes of beautiful, fraj^rant, waxy fiowers. Colors range from pure white to deep rose, and all the varieties are of easy cultivation, requiring the same conditions as van- das. The best varieties are crassifo- lium, crispiim, Iloulletiaiuini, faleatum, Leona'i, Fieldingii, Jiawrenceannm, maculosum, Lobbii, odoratuiii and its varieties, suavissimum, suavissiniiiin Ballantineanum and vircns. Rhynchostylis, better known in gar- dens as saccolabium, is an interesting class, worthy of cultivation. It blooms in summer. The best varieties are coelestis, with pale lavender flowers, the only blue variety in cultivation; guttata; pra-morsa retusa, often called Blumei. Varieties of the saccolabium type are few; the most showy are ani- jiullaccum, bcllinum, gigaiiteimi, gigan- feiim illustre, violaceum and the long, pure white violaceum Harrisoiiianiiin. Angraecums a Remarkable Family. Angru'cums are a remarkable family on account of the long, tail like s[)ius at- tached to the labellum, which is a dis- tinguishing characteristic of all vari- eties from the largest one, A. sesquipe- dale. to the siii;ill hybrids. The flow- ers of A. ses(|uipc(lale are always at- tractive, with their white, waxy flow- ers five inches to seven inches in diame- ter, carried four to five on
