THE ORCHID REVIEW. 93. 
_ The extremely cold weather which we have lately passed through will, 
I have no doubt, have left its lessons behind, few or many, large or small. 
I can only hope that all Orchid growers have emerged triumphantly, or to 
say the least, without serious results, though in this I have some misgiving. 
1 hope, however, that the advantages gained by extra experience will out- 
weigh the disadvantages of any probable loss incurred. Many cultural 
secrets have been divulged during such severe weather which would 
probably never have transpired in its absence. But the principal lessons. 
I have no doubt have tended towards the detection of defects in the heating 
apparatus, or for the better construction of the houses, and such if carried 
out would have their advantages. Certainly those having a superabundance 
of boiler power, or of hot-water pipes round the houses, will have been far 
the better off during the protracted spell of cold.
