PARK POLICY QUESTION
 LIVE ISSUE IN CITIES

difficulty of keeping the soil strong and rich and the vegetation healthful In a park thatis In use year In and year out. good deal of concern has arisen in this regard concerning Central park in New York, whose beauty has been ad- mired by so many persons. The situation in that park presents especial difficulty because the park is underlaid with rock and the soil is naturally thin. Samuel Parsons. Jr former landscape architect of the New York city park department, for years advocated the resoiling and re- habilitating of Central park, and last year recommended plan of treatment involving the expenditure of s1,4O0,OO0, of which s70000O was to go for the purchase of soils. The plan was denounced as a job in the interest of corporation that was to furnish the soils, and this trouble was one of the causes leading to the re- tirement of Architect Parsons recently
 so the problem of rehabilitating Central park remains unsolved. The western half of Stuyvesant square was resodded recently, 90O,000 square feet of turf being used, and Madison square Is soon to un- dergo the same treatment. One of the main troubles in the New York parks has been lack of water, and special per- mits were obtained recently from the water department to water Washington square, Union square, Stuyvesant square, Madison square and the Plaza.
 The city of Boston fortunately has been able to do for it's historic common a service similar to that which Architect Parsons and others wanted to do for Central park. The wornout soil of the common is being removed to a depth of several feet. replaced with new soil scen- tiffcally enriched. The rejuvenating pro- cess was begun last fall, and large part of the common has been gone over al- ready in this way. Other parts will be treated In the same way as occasion de-

Orchid Collecting
From the San Francisco Call.

iOIll lit SdIl r IdIltlSCO SdlI.
 Amateur orchid collectors and cultiva- tors were aroused to a. high state of en- thusiasm recently over a report that the | owner of a rare white orchid has refused an offer of a very large amount for the floral curiosity Orchid collecting and cultivating, both as a fad and as a busi- ness, have grown to large proportions in the last few years, and, as few persons realize the hardships attendant upon the collection of these floral gems, it Is inter- esting to know that the natives of Brazil sometimes travel sixty of seventy miles, suffering all the hardships of a jour- ney over wild country, to deliver to the collectors rare and valuable plant.
 In the Brazilian state of Pernambuco orchid collecting has developed into a large industry. which affords employment to many foreigners as well as natives. From there orchids are either shipped direct to foreign ports or are sent to coast firms which act as agents for busi- ness houses all over the world.
 Among the many specimens gathered there are the Cattleyas-la plata, leo poldil, guttata and granulosa. Besides these, other species well represented are the Burlingtonia fragrans. Oncidium devaricatium. Oncidium gravesianium and the Miltonia spectabilis morelana. The flowers of almost all of these are spectacular and some of them are re- markedly beautiful, but for market pur- poses only the Cattleyas have any import ance, and of these the labatas are the most profuse and give the greatest return. They are the large Tipped flaring flow CTS of mauve and pink, centered with magenta and yellow, that have become m the last few years a feature of floral decoration for the home. They generally threa foIIr five hlnnp1c a stalk, and their delicious fragrance great ly resembles the scent of lilacs. Of these Pernambuco exports more than 17,O01 eight-leayed plants a season.
 The plants are gathered at three cen tral points-Caruara, Garabhuns and Tim bauba. Representatives from business firms and individual collectors who pur- sue the study of the orchid as a hobby visit the country and announce they are ready to purchase. The news soon spreads, and 1t Is not an unusual sight l to see poor peasants carrying one or two plants, together with goatskin or corn for the market, who have travelled miles bargaining with an agent
 The plants are immediately sorted ac. cording to quality and the number o | leaves in good condition. The labiata. having less than eight leaves are discard ed, as they are too small for profitabl, shipment Plants of eight leaves are re | ceived in great quantities and are pait for at the rate of about 10 cents each There is a graduating scale of prices, tn, plants with fifteen, twenty, thirty leave
 and up commanding higher prices.
 Recently an extraordinary plant wa
