NEARLY always, when seen In public,
IN Mrs. Wilson wears q bunch Of orchids
and, indeed, it might be said that the fash
ionsble favor now enjoyed by orchids is at
least largely attributable to her fancy In this
regard.
Mrs. Wilson has been heard to say that
one Of her most enjoyable privileges as mis-
tress Of the White House is that Of being
able to have orchids unlimited. They are 50
expensive to ordinary folks that most women
cannot afford to buy them. But the Presi-
dent has one huge greenhouse devoted to
these exotics, and its entire output Is at Mrs.
Wilson's disposal.
The greenhouse In question Is at the south
end Of what used to be the presidential farm,
for In earlier days the White House was in
q way a farmhouse, and its farm embraced,
in addition to the present spacious grounds,
the so called White Lot and also the hill on
which stands the Washington Monument.
In fact, the farm extended to the Potomac's
banks and included a small sheet Of fresh
water at the foot Of the monument hill, since
drained of, which was known as Babcock's
lake. There was an orchard where the War,
State and Navy Building now is located
the site of the Treasury was the Presidents
kitchen garden. and beneath the front por-
tico of the White House was a dairy, to
which water was brought by pipe from q
spring in Franklin Square, several blocks
away.
After the Civil War a big greenhouse was
built at the west end of the mansion, the
main corridor opening directly into it; and
this glass house was supplemented by a
smaller one, which later on was devoted to
orchids.
1t was during the Grant administration
that a minister plenipotentiary from Brazil
or some other South American country gave
to the Presidents wife a number of rare
orchid plants. At that time orchids were
almost wholly unknown in the United States.
and Mrs. Grant was delighted, finding them
very interesting and their flowers wonder
fully beautiful.
Diplomats from other countries were
thereby inspired to offer gifts of orchid
plants: and, at Mrs. Grants suggestion, the
Department of State requested American
consuls at tropical seaports all around the
world to send to Washington any desirable
varieties they might be able to procure.
In this way was at length built up one of
the most remarkable collections Of orchids in
existence, which included many exceedingly
rare and precious kinds. Amateurs inter
ested in curiosities Of the sort came from all
parts Of the world to see it.
COME kinds of orchids grow in earth;
~ others are "epiphytes," growing on trees
and deriving their sustenance from the air,
their long rootlets waving in the breeze

usually by cutting down and stripping the
trees on which they grow. On mountain
ridges in Colombia occurs q much -prized
variety of "odontoglossum'' that brings q
fabulous price. Next In importance are
various cattleyas. The splendid golden
orchid is a cattleya.
Orchids for export must be gathered in
the hot season, when they 90 out of the
Towering business for q while, drying up and

fully packed, they stand sea voyage very
well.
Our own country is not wholly devoid Of
orchids. In New Jersey, Delaware and
Maryland one may find, In wooded and moist
places, the pink Or yellow ''lady's slipper"
But orchids are plentiful only in warm lati-
tudes. The most beautiful ones grow In
luxurisnce where q tropical climate develops
their exquisite vegetable forms on branches
of living trees, on the decayed bark Of
fallen trunks or sometimes running over
mossy rocks.
The leaves of the "bromelias" form cups
that hold water for weeks, and In these little
vases an aquatic plant from seeds dropped
by birds) Hourishes.
The ''coryanthes" (American tropics)
throws out a network of interlaced rootlets
that form an oval. baglike mass, hanging
from creeper or tree branch. Strike or shake
the plant, and out will swarm great num-
bers of fierce biting ants. The bag is, in
fact, an ants nest. The plant is subject to
attack by cockroaches and caterpillars, and.
to protect itself against such enemies, 1t
provides comfortable quarters for a garrison
of carnivorous ants. In return for the &C.
commodation, they are ready to rush forth
and fight at the first alarm.
An odd point about the coryanthes is that
its flower is designed to attract one particu-
lar kind of insect-a handsome metallic
green bee. From the base of one of its bulbs
a long flower stem is developed, upon which
hang number of exquisite cups. and into
each cup a liquid drips from two horns"
in the upper part of the flower.
Flying to the flower, as moth to candle,
the bee falls into the liquid in the bottom
of the cup and, wetting its wings. is unable
to use them. Look into the cup and you will
see perhaps a dozen of the insects swim.
ming round and round or vainly trying to
climb the slippery sides. II it is the second
day after the opening of the flower, one or
two bees may be found drowned. 1t was
never the intention of the orchid. however,
that their lives should be sacrificed; but, op
the contrary, that they should escape, and
in doing so perform the ONCE for which the
whole contrivance is designed.

On the other hand, the market price

the world previously unvisited. Only , ie"
years ago collector In India came BY chance
upon unlimited supplies of Q species that was
then bringing an extraordinary price In
London. He sent home secretly large con-
signments of the plants, which were put on
sale gradually, at first only two or three
and later a dozen or so, until the market
was broken and the erstwhile treasure be-
came a drug.
Perils, no matter how frightful, are ig-
nored by the orchid hunting enthusiast.
Many Of these adventures in tropical wilds
have been killed by savages, held as cap
tives, eaten by cannibals, or bitten to death
by venomous snakes; not to mention deaths
attributable to fevers and other diseases.
Not very long ago New York man.

were found three human skeletons and thou

developed a method of treatment which
serves equally we'll for both sorts. He wraps
the roots in moss, which is kept damp, and
suspends the plants by. wires from the roof
Of the greenhouse. Under these conditions
they thrive admirably.
In serried ranks they hang, hundreds on

jacket. Very many Of them are ''cattleyas,"
because orchids Of that tribe bear profusely

are Of a beauty no less than gorgeous.
Many orchids present limitations so strik-
ing as to be positively weird. For instance,
there is the variety called the butterfly"
which when in bloom looks as il big gaudy-
winged insects hovered over it. The bee
orchid, the spider" orchid and the 'Iizard''
orchid are equally remarkable. One species
bears a flower in the likeness of a grinning
monkey; another suggests the aspect of an
opera dancer suspended by the head.
The "cradle of Venus is shaped like an
old fashioned cradle with boatlike body and
a cover at the head. Instead of a baby, the
flower cradle contains a little bird that re-
sembles a robin in miniature. Bird and
cradle are pale yellow.
In Venezuela is found an orchid whose
blossom has the shape of q dog. A Colon.

like a duck, and almost as big, hansins

MOST remarkable of all is the extremely
rare Holy Ghost orchid of Panama,
each one of whose blossoms (borne on
straight spikes) contains q perfect repre-
sentation in miniature of q uow-white
pigeon with outspread wings. This wonder
plant grows in almost infpenetrable swamps,

snakes, and the natives Of that region are
firmly convinced that. when the flowers are

and fly away.

that they can be brought to as high a per-
fection in the greenhouse as in their native
woods. The Holy Ghost orchid and certain
other kinds obtained from regions not far
from the equator demand q temperature and
degree of moisture strongly suggestive Of
the Turkish bath.
In one way orchids are rather economical.
