Practical Hints on Orehid Gulture.

No lover of flowers, who has ever seen a good collection, or even a few

_ well-grown Orchids in bloom, but must have been struck with their wonderful

beauty. A further acquaintance with them would have shown that many possessed exquisite odors, and that the bloom in many kinds lasted from two weeks to two months.

The cultivation of this beautiful class of plants has been retarded by two

causes—first, their cost; and secondly, the sapposition that they were difficult

_ to cultivate. Owing to their great and increasing popularity, immense impor-

tations have brought their prices down; and, in purchasing, the buyer should

_ remember that instead of needing new plants every year, these if well grown

increase in value faster than any other class of plants. With regard to cul- ture, the great bulk are as easily grown as geraniums or heliotrope—and require far less work, but a little more knowledge. There are species that have proven somewhat difficult of culture, but all Lelias, Oncidiums, Cattleyas, Lycaste, Stanhopeas, and many others, can be cultivated in any house where Heliotrope

is grown in the winter, and where the thermometer is kept down by shading

_ and syringing as low as possible during the hot months of June, July, August

and September. The East India Aerides, Vandas, etc., and the Odontoglossums from the cool mountains of New Grenada we would not recommend to any beginner in

Orchid Culture. Any one who has a fair selection of Lelias, Lycastes, Onci-

_ diums, Cattleyas and Dendrobiums will never be without bloom from January

to June

Nearly all the plants in the following list make their growth between May and October. Some make their bloom immediately with their new growth ; others after it is finished; but all need a season of rest after their growth is finished, and this rest is brought about by placing them im a cooler, dryer and less shady situation. This change must not be too sudden, and the quantity

of water given reduced gradually.

Through the dull winter months, November, December, January and Feb

ruary, give the plants plenty of sun, at the same time merely enough water not to let the bulus shrivel; by this they will harden their growth and lay up

a supply of concentrated sap to start them into growth and bloom.

No one can grow Orchids by keeping them always in a moist and shady

| place Great care must be taken to see that they are kept clean of insects. Growing orchids on blocks or in baskets is a much safer way for begin- ners than in pots, and where only a few dozen are grown, if hung together, it | is only a few minutes’ work to dip the blocks in water for a minute some two | or three times a week. This planalso preservesthem from the attacks of their greatest enemy—the snail—and enables the grower to hang them among the branches of large plants in the conservatory or greenhouse, thus giving it the

appearance of a natural tropical forest. The house in summer must be kept

moist, but wherever Begonias and other foliage plants grow well the most of the Orchids in this list will grow and bloem.

We would say that no particulas education is necessary. We have grown Orchids for the last 10 or 12 years, not by the dozen, but by the thousand, mixed up with Ferns, Palms, Dracenas, Cacti and every other species of green and hot house plants. We have them growing in pots, baskets of wood or | pottery: also on cocoanut busk, burnt clay slabs and wood of several kinds, viz: cypress, cedar, locust and walnut, and some on wood from their native |

forests. The secret does not lay in On What you grow them so mnch as in

how you grow them. The only trouble experienced by successful

Orchid growers is that they lose interest in all other plants.

We have thought proper to add a brief description of the more prominent

varieties of Orchids, which will be found in the list. We also affix a few let-

| ters to designate the tem;erature the varieties thrive best under.

All who wish to become more intimately acquainted with Orchids will find every needed assistance, advice and detailed explanations of everything per- taining to Orchids, including descriptions of all leading varieties in ‘‘William’s

Orchid Grower’s Manual, orders for which we fill at lowest price.

We are continually receiving large lots of Orchids, among which are often some fine clumps of Laelias, Cattleyas, Dendrobiums, etc., etc., which we can || sell very cheap. Among our Cattleyas are several kinds not named, large

| plants, which we will sell at very moderate rates.

Our prices are as low as any Orchid grower has ever offered. We send out only good plants, established in baskets, pots or on blocks. We guarantee to give entire satisfaction.

In ordering, write name in full, Post Office, Express Office, and—if a large order in summer—Freight Office. Always give as minute instructiong as to route, &c. as possible, as great trouble is often saved by a minute spent

in that way.

Make all P. O. and Express Money Orders as well as Registered Letters

payable in Baltimore, Md. In case we are short of any partof an order we will write for instructions before shipping, unless advised of any acceptable substitute in the order. Always send remittance with order, unless satisfactory references are fur- nished. C.QO.D orders should be accompanied by 25 per cent. of probable cost.

No charges for boxing or packing. Free on board cars in Baltimore.

DURABILITY OF ORCHID BLOOMS.

This, one of their greatest attractions is fully illustrated in the ‘‘ Orchid Manual’’ by the experience of Mr. Skinner with the Lycaste named after him, L. Skinnerii. He says:

‘©On the 2d February I received a fine specimen with seven flowers out, and placed it on the drawing-room table in an ornamental pot, and gave it every three days or so about four tablespoonfuls of water, occasionally wiping the leaves with a wet sponge when dust got on them. There it stood through the severe weather we had, a fire in the room only during afternoons and even- ings; on some days none at all. It did not show the least decay until the 16th of May when it was for some purpose or other put into the greenhouse, and our gardener sprinkled water over 1t along with the other plants. Next morn- ing I was shocked to see the flowers all with brown spots and withering. On May 18 | took it back to the gentleman from whom [ received it, still in full bloom, and it lasted—though then much injured—a week on the stand by the

seed room in his place.”’

Tn order to! make our new friends better acquainted with this truly beau- tiful class of plants and accustom them to their really simple culture, we have decided to make the following collections—easiest of culture, suitable for an ordinary greenhouse having a temperature of from 45° to 60° at night during coldest weather.

This will be found by far the better way for any one unacquainted with Orchids to order, as by writing us when they want flowers (winter or summer) place in which they expect to grow them and the temperature that can be maintained both winter and summer, and any other points they may think of, we can so modify collections as to suit their individual taste or opportunities.

Do not think that because an Orchid os not high-priced it is necessarily g small dull-flowered variety or a weak, sickly plant. Some of the most beauti- ful flowers in the family are found among the plants which have been most freely imported, and are consequently cheapest ; and a $1 00 plant of a popu- lar variety will be just as large and healthy as a plant costing $50 or $100 of

the kinds of which only a few have or can be imported.
