ORCHIDS : HOW tO GROW THEM SUCCESSFULLY. 



ORCHIDS WHICH MAY BE GROWN IN VINERIES 

 OR PEACH HOUSES. 



In an early chapter it was stated that I could not advise the 

 culture of Orchids in fruit growing houses, and I intended these words 

 to apply to Orchids generally, but when a vinery or peach house has 

 been started in February or March, then the warmth such a house 

 would afford would exactly suit the requirements of a few species of 

 Orchids. By the time the fruit had ripened, and it became necessary 

 to give the vines or fruit trees plenty of air in order to thoroughly 

 ripen the wood, the new growth of the Orchids would be in an 

 advanced condition and able to withstand, and indeed, would be 

 benefited by large quantities of air and cool treatment, provided it be 

 not too cold, remaining here until it became necessary to start the 

 houses in the following year. 



The following list indicates such Orchids as would be likely to 

 succeed, and generally do well under such treatment, although I by no 

 means assert that they are sure to do so, and it would be necessary to 

 start with good plants and pay strict attention to cleanliness :
