secret of the fascination of these wonderful
flowers is not by any means explained by the
mere fact that they are so expensive which
has SO often been advanced in explanation of
why many people are eager for these
flowers
No more than half century ago the whole
orchid family was virtually undiscovered
Only a few varieties were known and they
were by no means in general cultivation. Now
there is a mad quest in all quarters of the
globe for these fashionable flowers The ut
termost parts Of the earth are being ransack-
ed for new varieties, under the spur of the
enormous prices which collectors will pay for
rare finds" and expensive greenhouses have
been installed to permit the cultivation of the
more delicate members of the orchid family
under the same conditions as to light and tenn
perature which obtain in its ancestral home
In the tropics.
The orchids in their native haunts are
found growing in all sorts of strange ways
and naturally when they are transplanted they
are hard plants to grow. Moreover, there are
no rules for the cultivation of orchids In 9th
er branches of the floral kingdom all the men,
bers OF given floral family may be expected
to yield to the same general method of Gull
tivation. varied only in minor detail to permit
adaptation to the needs of each member of
the FAMILY. Not so with the eccentric orchids
however. Every plant is seemingly a law unto
itself, and likely to require methods of cult

exact opposite of those which obtain in the
case OF other members of this fascinating fam

The lure Of rich reward attracts many dar-

prizes of gold come to the men who discover,
or at least the men who bring back to civiliza-

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
known as the dormant state 1t re-
quires a gradually slackening supply
of water. whereas when 1t is revived
from this and returned to active
growth there must be continual in
crease In the amount OF moisture sup
piled to the plant arousing from its
drowsiness.
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
''nursed" until they give evidence of
active growth. After this it is large
