Talking of sowing Orchid seed, here is a recipe from the pen 

 of the late Donald Beaton : — 



" Get the seed-pod of an Orchid emptied on a piece of smooth 

 paper, the seeds being as small as the dust in a sunbeam. 

 Take a very clean E'o. 32 pot, and put a No. 60 pot upside 

 down over the hole at the bottom, and put a piece 2 inches 

 square of ragged turf or fibry peat over the hole of 'No. 60. 

 Then take four pieces of rough, cracked charcoal, 3 inches or 

 4 four inches long, and half that in width or thickness, place 

 them on their ends against the sides of the big pot at equal 

 distances ; put your finger on the bottom hole outside, and fill 

 the pot with water, holding the pot in the left hand. Now 

 sow the seeds on the water, and breathe against it till the 

 whole surface is equally dusted. Then begin to let off the 

 water from under your finger by the bottom hole very, very 

 gradually. As the water subsides in the pot, the seeds 

 will stick to the sides of the pot, the peat, and the charcoal.
