FOREST AND WOOD WORKING MACHINERY. [May 



Tliis is a very desirable garden plant, and may be easily grown 

 in any open situation by adding a quantity of lime or chalk to 

 the soil. Calcareous soil is, however, by no means necessary, as 

 I have grown this orchid very successfully in pure red loam, similar 

 to that in which it is found naturally. 



Under cultivation it increases rapidly, and being a plant of great 

 beauty is certainly well worthy of a place oven in restricted collec- 

 tions. It tiowers in June and July, the period being greatly 

 extended according to soil, altitude, and situation.

FEW modern mechanical inventions have wrought greater changes 

 than the improved appliances for working wood ; and we do 

 not think it will be out of the pale of our sphere to illustrate from 

 time to time some of these.
