ORCHIDS. 



It was supposed some years ago that to grow Orchids well, houses of 

 special construction were needed, and also the services of a learned gardner ; 

 but now it is found that the cultivation of many of these attractive plants, 

 is attended with hardly any more difficulty than the growing of ordinary 

 greenhouse stock. Our climate is especially adapted to the growfng of 

 Orchids, our cool summers being just what the Orchids want ; too excessive 

 temperature, either warm or cold, being the worst for Orchids. The Orchids 

 named below are from Mexico, and have stood the winter in a lath house, 

 out of doors.
