0RC:mD5 FOR CULTIYAITION IN THE OPEN QROUNb. 
To be grown as Hardy Herbaceous Plants. 
THIS class has many attractive and beautiful members, and is worthy careful attention. A bed of fine garden 
soil and peat or leaf mould will be the best for their successful cultivation. The bed should be in a half 
shady locality. Many of the hardy Orchids are as showy as the tropical and epiphytal species. In small 
gardens, and where no hothouse is at disposal, the hardy Orchids will enable the plant-lover to admire the beauty 
of form and color of this distiugruished and noble class of jilants.
