and Italian collectors to be the
best buyers. 1t is almost impos-
sible to bring foreign orchids in
to the United States today, and
the Department of Agriculture
expressly forbids importation of
plants of Philippine origin.
The price of an orchid depends
on the condition of the plant, its
size and its appearance. Captain
c. Burdett, in his interesting
book, Odyssey of An Orchid
Hunter, writes of a single plant,
a Wanda Sanderiana, which
brought $1,000 in the British
market some years ago.

rience of discovering one of the
rarest plants in the world. 1t is
known to science as the Aerides
Farmerii, and, until that time,
only one specimen of it had been
found. Mine was the second, and
was acquired by the Bureau of
Science of the Philippine Gov

The family of Towering plants
to which the orchid belongs is
represented by 45O genera and
about 1900 species scattered
over the world but found chiefly
in the tropics. In the Philippine
Islands alone - where most of
my orchid hunting has been done
- there are $50 species.
Some flowers open only during
the morning hours and drop off
in the afternoon; Others last the
entire day. have known some
orchids to bloom for fully two
months. The color of orchids
ranges from very pure white
through the various blue and
violet tones to the darkest pur-
pie. The rarest color is the blue.
Old Tito, kinky haired chiefof
a Negrito tribe, once told me
that orchids never thrived when
removed from the jungle unless
one spoke to them! Therefore
was not greatly surprised when
l subsequently met orchid en-
thusiasts who did speak to their
plants, verbally caressing and
cajoling them as one would a
child.
All orchid hunts are fraught
with hardship and danger. They
entail weeks spent far from civili-
zation, alone with native guides
and carriers. There are torential
rivers to cross, and always the

FISHING
According to Izaak Walton

According to Izd0k Walton
Brother anglers, you can write
your own ticket for fishing this
weekend. Rockfish, hardheadS,
trout, bluefish, channel bass,
perch, herring, or what have you.
OF course they are not Swarming,
but nevertheless they arA with us
and some are bound to take your
offerings. Here's how!
Sunday on the Potomac, below
Chain Bridge, the fleet of boats
out to fish was amazing, and all
had some kind of fish. Perch and
herring were as thick as thieves at
a garden party. Clear water made
the Snagging Of herring hard, al
though the silver fish were break
ing everywhere when the tide was
running. The writer's party
landed rockfish, S catfish, 2 vel
low perch and Is good sized white
perch. Bloodworms were the best
bait. A few rock were landed on
fly and spinner combinations
trolled with the current.
The pan rock are now in South
River and biting. one party got

tween one and two pounds. Less

anglers. Bloodworms and soft
crab are the best bats there.

tiously at most of the Bay points
and another week will probably
see the first run Of big fish well
started.
Fly fishing for trout is now at
It's best and you can try your
luck with little fear of cold snap
to put the fish down.
Oregon Inlet saw a few medium
sized blues landed this past week
end along with channel bass of
also medium size. Bad weather
has somewhat curtailed the fish
ing. Due to the tremendous de-
mand for boats a lot of amateur
boatmen are now taking out par
ties and as expected, number of
accidents occurred last weekend
resulting in the loss of one life
and lots Of expensive tackle. There
was little excuse for this fatality
as the boatSman had no business
to 60 outside when the weather
was as rough as it was Saturday.
We hope this sad loss will wake
up the fishing fraternity to the
fact that only experienced guides
should be hired and men who are
thoroughly familiar with the
treacherous waters of this Inlet.
Washington anglers are dis

ShortsightedneSs exhibited this
past Sunday when at Oregon In
