the people of this county.

VIEW HOLY GHOST BLOOM.

The thousands of visitors to the
twenty first annual cLrysanthemurl
show of the Department of Agricul-
ture have an added treat in seeing
the very rare orchid bloom. the "Holy '
Ghost" flower. The leaders in Wash.
.nzton official. diplomatic and sociaI
life are crowding to SIC this little
plant, and flower lovers from half the
states in the Union have 5eurneyed
here during the last week for the
same purpose.
One of the most interesting oS the
many plants indigenous to the se.
g!ons Of Central America is the
dove" or Holy Ghost" flower the
classical name for which is Peris-
teria- -Elala). John Dawson. the ex-
pert on tropical plans. who brough;
this particular specimen Of the Holy
Ghost" plant into bloom, tells inter
est!ngly of its history. The Holy
Ghost" plant was first brought into
cultivation in 1925. when Bernard A
Permian. a merchant. sent il to a
noted grower named Harrison In
Liverpool. England. In Mr.. Harrison's
time in 1899.
The Department of Agriculture
plant museum owes the addition of
this orchid to its collection to Leon
ard Matthews. who successfully
brought specimens from Panama in
1889.
BY the early Spanish settlers this
plant was held sacred. much as was
the lotus lily by the Egyptians. and
was named by them "El Espiritu San
to" or Holy Ghost" orchid.
The flower has four petals, tulip
form, pure white. Inside Of this
chalice is a perfectly formed and
colored dove. The wings are white.
speckled with dots of lavender and
purple. The eyes are minute black
dots The beak is yellow. All details
are perfect.
