Maxillarias delight in a cool, moist, shaded location at all seasons where the winter temperature will not exceed 58° F. by night and not over 60° or 65° by day. During summer they must be grown as cool as possible with ventilation at all sea- sons when admissible, especially in wet, heavy weather. Water should be given in abundance while the plants are growing and not too sparingly when at rest, as the plants are subject to spot i£ kept too dry. Weak liquid cow manure is beneficial occasionally during root action. Maxillariahas two recognized horticultural groups or sections; viz., caulescent and stemless. The caulescent sectionembraces J/.((?nHi7o;ia, J/.t'ar(a6i7i«andkindred species, having scandent rhizomes and often obscure flowers. These should all be grown under pot culture and afforded supports to climb on, such as small cylin- ders or rafts of open woodwork with a little compost worked in the openings, or Osmunda rhizomes supported obliquely in the pots to which the plants can attach themselves as they grow upward, and thus be supplied MAXILLARIA 995 yellow.
