TRY GROWING ORCHIDS
BY E. VAN BENTHUYsEN.

Contrary to the general opinion,
orchids are by no means difficult to
grow to their fullest perfection. An
other prevalent error is that the orchid

This is by no means true, for many of
the varieties are relatively inexpen-

ture of a very limited amount Of
money to have collection of Superla.
tive beauty. They require the proper
kind of house, the correct materials
In which to grow them, care in water
ing and temperature and the same at
tention that must be given to every
growing thing, but, given these, the
orchid will reward the grower most
abundantly.
Orchids require plenty of light and
air, but must not be exposed to the
full sun. The proper shading of the
orchid house in summer is very essen
tial.
No other flower of the floral king
dom boasts of so many wondrous COM
binations of form, color, texture as the
orchid. Of all the flowers that have
been given US there is none to COM
pare with the orchid to embellish our
homes with their fresh loveliness of
form and color. or for personal adorn-
ment.
No other flower so persistently ap-
peals to the refined taste of those to
whom orchids have become a passion,
the exquisite perfume varying from
the faint, delicate fragrance of some of
the dendrobiums to the delicious and
almost overpowering odor of the Ae-
rides and Epidendrums.
Orchids can be grown in pots, pans
and baskets in fibrous peat, with prop
er drainage. While they require shad-
ing in the summer, dark houses should
be avoided, and the air should be ad-
mitted whenever possible.
Cypripedium is one of the most in
teresting branches of the orchid fam
lily and offers a bountiful field of en-
| joyment to the amateur. It is COM
posed of many varieties and an almost
unlimited number of hybrids, of be-
wildering variations in form and color.
They are of the easiest culture and
bloom in the greatest profusion. This
class is extremely low in price and Of
fers untold enjoyment to the orchid
lover of limited means.
The odontoglossums are the most ex-
tensively grown of all orchids. They re-
quire an even, cool and moist tempera-
ture throughout the year. They are

Kidney & Co.
(BY DIR. ]. H. wATsoN)

The kidneys and the skin work in
harmony. They're companions, the
skin being the second partner. If we
are anxious to keep well and preserve
the vitality of the kidneys and, also
free the blood from nOxious elements,
we must pay special attention to q
good action of the skin and to see that
the kidneys are flushed so as to elimi-
nate the poisons from the blood.
Sweating, by hard work or in bath,
at least once a week, helps to keep the
skin and kidneys in good condition.
Flush the kidneys by drinking plenty
Of pure water with meals and between
meals. Occasionally obtain at the drug
store Anuric, double strength, which
will help flush the kidneys and the in
testines. You will find that Anuric is
MANY times more active than lithia

AMARYLLIS

The amaryllis is an extremely orna-
mental plant with large, fragrant,
beautifully colored flowers. To sue
cessfully grow them considerable at
tention must be paid to the condition
of the soil.
The most suitable soil is good loan,
with one-fourth part of leafmold, or
AS with other plants good drainage is
very important.
The growing season is from early
spring until about September, when
the plants should be kept cool and
allowed to rest until February. They
require plenty of sunshine, but during
the Towering season a light shading
tends to preserve the blossoms longer.
One of the things to be sedulously
avoided if you wish to have success
with growing amaryllis is to see that
there is no disturbance of the roots.
The past few seasons have seen
some wonderfully beautiful results in
the growing Of amaryllis. Flaming
gorgeous colors have been produced
along with vari-striped effects quite
bewildering in their beauty.
If you have established bulbs in
large pots, see they have top dress
ing when starting, and manure water
during the growing season.
To the gardener who has not as yet
experimental with this plant, it is
worth try. New delight and interest
comes with the growth of new plants
each season.
