vades; and must risk all sorts of personal mis-
haps in grasping his prize, even after the quest
has been successful, since most of the rare
orchids of the tropics flourish only at the
tops Of the tallest trees. The hunter must
either climb the trees, or more likely he will
cut them down. but he dare not trust any
hands save his own to undertake the task OF
gathering these fragile flowers.
An energetic orchid hunter will forward
great numbers of plants, some rare and others
not so rare to the orchid consuming centers
of Europe and America every year, but 1t Is
no easy matter to get the orchids to the coast

every large consignment of orchids from Bra

paradise there Is loss amounting to thou
sands of dollars through the demise Of plants
that cannot Withstand the rigors OF an ocean
voyage and in consequence pass from their
dormant condition into sleep from which
they cannot be awakened.
The roots which come safely to market are
usually put up at auction, and since there
are no flowers on the plants. and no means
of positively Identifying them-not even the
orchid hunter having seen them In bloom--it
not infrequently happens that what are sold
for orchids of common variety, and conse-
Quently bring low price, turn out to be rarities
of great value. In this way one unidentified
orchid plant that brought half a dollar at an
auction sale In London was, when 1t bloomed,
after lapse Of two years, discovered to be
such a novelty that the very firm that had
disposed Of 1t at auction bought 1t back for

breaker for rare orchid, as notable speci-

$3.50. Nor ia 1t necessary that an orchid

Orchid growers who are In the bust

and by watchful care nurture the
latent spark of life until In time the
plant blooms. One ticklish task In
connection with the raising of orchids
is the keeping up of the successive pc
RODS of rest and activity natural to
each species of this floral family. AS
an orchid plant Is passing into what Is

Orchids newly arrived from foreign
parts must have an exceptional
amount of attention after their long
sea voyage. First, all the old leaves
are removed and then the plants are
allowed to repose for time In cool
building where they have shade. After
two or three days of preparation the
new arrivals are put In pots and
