construct the fieshy parts of the face

Poynter did not tell the artist that

ORCHIDS CURIOUS PLANTS
By E. VAN sENrHuYsEN.

BY E. VAN BENTHUYSEN.
Orchids are curious plants, even the
simplest orchids of the endogenous
type, which belong to the same group
as lilies, palms and grasses but differ
ing in their snowy, highly-colored fow-
ers of diverse shapes. Possibly there
is no flower admired more and under
stood less.
The known species of orchids num-
ber 5000, which are included in 400
genera. The diligent search that has
been made for these plants in every
country in the world for cultivation
purposes and on account of their great
beauty is undoubtedly responsible for
the great number of known varieties.
Some of the orchids are terrestrial
that is, they grow with their roots
In the ground-but the greater number
are epiphytes air plants growing
on trees and shrubs, but receiving no
nourishment from them.
1t is a strange fact that orchids
while supposed to grow in tropical
climates only are grown-beautiful
specimens of them-in the neighbor-
hood of snow. Rational methods of
The midland journal., 1915-11-19

cultivation have developed leading to
the separation of orchids in three
kinds Of greenhouses, according to
temperatures maintained in them hot
houses, temperate houses and cold
houses.
There are some artificially produced
.hybrids, wonderful creations in shape,
which differ greatly from both parents.
On account of the difficulty of their
production these beautiful plants COM
mand fabulous prices. Thousands Of
dollars have been paid for beautiful
specimens. Once created, however,
these hybrids may be propagated in
definitely by dividing the root-stock
as it grows; this permanently enriches
the collection of conservatories.
A new orchid, the Marie-Odile, the
nun orchid, is dainty white blossom
and is extremely rare. 1t is here pic

HOME GROUNDS A PICTURE
By CELESTE BENTON.

Begin now to plan the arrangement
of the home grounds for next season.
Make all the planting subservient to
the home picture as whole. All the
planting should be done with a view
to enhancing and making it homelike.
If trees. shrubbery and flower beds
are placed in front of the house they
detract from the picture.
If your ground is so situated that
you can have pond lily bed, or a
rock garden try it.. 1t has been done
successfully where the ground had
water on it. Instead of draining the
pond out it was preserved into a
thing of beauty
The main part of the ground, plant
ing should be lawn. Trees and large
shrubbery should be set to the rear
