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 50 often been advanced in explanation Of
why SO many people are eager for these
flowers.
No more than half century ago the whole
orchid family was virtually undiscovered
Only 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 mem
bers OF given floral family may be expected
to yield to the same general method Of cul.
tvaton 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 law unto
Itself and likely to require methods of cult
walton distinct in themselves, and perhaps the
exact opposite of those which obtain in the
case of other members of this fascinating fam
lily.
The rarest of the orchids, and, of course
the ones most sought and the ones which
command the highest prices, do not grow
after the fashion Of the general community
of sef-respecting plants which bury their roots
In the soil. Instead these orchids are, in ef-
feet parasites fastening themselves to tree
trunks or tree limbs. 1t is these species which
have their native home deep in the jungles of
the tropics and the hotter and damper the at
mosphere of these unhealthy tropical forests
for instance, those Of Brazil-the more the
orchids seem to thrive. Now when the de-
scendants Of such tropical captives are to be

The remedy at least is cheap. 1t

more effort than some men are will

tiles of these erratic flowers that every now and
then an experienced grower will lose number
of plants for no apparent reason.
These flowers, some of which are said to have
the ability to kill with their fragrance, are in
reality distant cousins Of our familiar blooms,
the snow drop and the ladys slipper. There are,
all told more than 5000 varieties of orchids, but
the ones which have been most priced are the
strangely beautiful forms which have come from
bllstering deserts, fever swamps the tops Of
mountains or other localities where 1t seems as

And now comes a very learned man,

Is cursed with truth, or, rather, with
lack of lies. Human beings, par
