George I'Ansen, orchid grower at the 

 celebrated A. C. Burrage estate, Beverly 

 Farms, delivered the address of the 

 evening on "Orchids." Mr. I'Ansen, 

 before coming to America, had charge 

 of noted collections with such firms as 

 Veitch's, Low's and Charlesworth 's and 

 knows his subject thoroughly. He 

 showed over 100 slides, made by him- 

 self, of new, rare and useful orchids. In 

 the resultant discussion the question of 

 feeding orchids came up. The lecturer 

 did not approve of anything more than 

 rain water and said even in the case of 

 terrestial orchids, like calanthes, phaius, 

 cymbidiums, etc., only weak liquid ma- 

 nure was advisable or ultimate injury 

 would result. J. T. Butterworth also 

 considered rain water all the food 

 orchids needed, and he had never given 

 stimulants to any of his plants. Other 

 speakers took an opposite view and in- 

 stanced remarkable oncidiums, dendro- 

 biums and cattleyas which were regu- 

 larly given stimulants.
