We have thus fulfilled our promise, and given a few hints on orchids. 

 In this we lay no claim to originality, but have merely put into small 

 compass the necessary directions. The article must necessarily be im- 

 perfect and faulty, but if it lead any to attempt the culture of this rare, 

 beautiful and curious class of plants, its object will be fully attained.
