Excerpt from Cool Orchids, and How to Grow Them: With a Descriptive List of All the Best Species in Cultivation

Salt, Esq. A plant of Oncidium macranthum produced a long flexuous branched spike bearing seventy-seven noble flowers. The house in which this plant is grown, along with half-a dozen other plants of the same species, is kept very cool, the atmosphere is very moist, and the temperature not unfre quently descends as low as though as nearly as possible the mean winter temperature is that is 50° for the maxi mum and 450° for the minimum range.

Excerpt from Cool Orchids, and How to Grow Them: With a Descriptive List of All the Best Species in Cultivation

CooL-Growing Orchids have a great future before them. Many of them may be grown to perfection with the same trouble and expense that are required to grow a Heath or an Azalea. The house in which they will succeed best should be one whose climate resembles that of a genial promenade rather than a vapour bath - an atmosphere peculiar to the East Indian House.

We have yet to import some fine additions to the group of cool Orchids generally, for many of the best of the Masdevallias, Cypripediums, and Odontoglossums yet linger unseen in their native habitats. Who shall say what novelties will be brought to light when the western slopes of the Andes or the mountains to the north of India have been thoroughly explored by collectors?

The works of Bateman, Warner, Anderson, Williams, and others having created a love for Orchids, we offer this little hand-book as an easy and simple guide to the general cultivation of such as will luxuriate freely in a cool or intermediate temperature. The frontispiece here figured was originally published in the first volume of the Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society of London.
