TWO. RARE ORCHID SPECIMENS
Central America Can Boast Of Two
Of the Most Perfect Of Beau
f tiful Flowers.

A quaint little orange orchid, odor-
less, very common In Central America.
Is the Spidendrum Radlcans, locally
called the "Dutch Shoe" because Of its
fancied resemblance to tiny sabot.
The Monkey" orchid, more curious
than beautiful, has greenlsh,' small
flowers growing in thick clusters, sus.
pended from whorls of glossy leaves
Great quantities of it grow on the
dead stumps OF the overlooked land
forming lagoons in Gatun lake. A
regularity Of the Monkey orchid is
that when domesticated its flowers do
not develop fragrance until they are
three days old. Another odd species
mimics white violet, not only in
size and shape, but in the exquisite
violetlike fragrance which the bios
som gives out in the late afternoon
only. II has no fragrance at any 9TH
er time and the tiny flowers last sew
eral days.

Please step aside" she wound up
And Tim promised to obey.
Long words however, were not his
