FLORAL ARlSTOCRATS.
Orchids Are Not Parasites, and u -
Difficult to Raise Them.

Aristocrats of the flower kingdom
pnd probably the least understood.
You hear them called parasites, which
Is only one Of the common mistakes
made about the orchid. You see n
hundred different shapes and a dozen
different colors grouped together, each
shape perhaps a distinct family and
each with a separate name.
In the first place, orchids are not
parasites. A parasitical plant is one
which gets nourishment from another
plant. Certain orchids live on trees,
but they get their food and drink from
the air by means Of aerial roots. We
call them epiphytes. Other orchids
get their nourishment directly from
the ground. They're called terrestrial
orchids.
People don't understand, either,
why orchids cost so much. They fail
to see why a tiny plant is sold for,
say, $1,000. II they realized that rare
orchids may have cost a long trip
into a tropical jungle to obtain and
that 1t takes from eight to ten years
to raise plant from the seed, with
patient care and treatment, they could
see why these flowers remain In the
aristocratic class.
Only the orchid grower can under
stand all the details of his art, but the
flower lover can easily learn to dis
tinguish the various types.-Philadel-
