PE.-VT, FIBROUS, of best quality. The proper article 
in which to grow inost orchids is our fibrous peat, which 
is really the fine wire-like roots of hard-wooded vegeta- 
tion, combined with a proportion of decomposed leaves 
and roots. The fibrous part is separated from the finer 
decomposed material by drying and shaking the large 
clumps or cakes as received, and is really the very best 
thing in which to grow orchids, affording proper support 
and perfect drainage. In practice, it is used with about 
one-fourth dry sphagnum moss, chopped up with it and 
thoroughly mi.Ned. The finer portion of the peat, as 
shaken out, is a very good material, when mixed with 
good loam, in which to grow palms, ferns and all stove 
plants. We claim that our fibrous peat for orchid cul- 
ture is of superior quality ; nowhere else have we found 
peat to equal it. Our peat is taken from upland beds, 
and does not rot or decay quickly, as is generally the 
case with peat which is taken from wet, marshy places ; 
it will not sour. Anyone familiar with the appearance 
of the healthy stock throughout all the orchid houses at 
Rose Hill well knows that the quality of peat and the 
best quality of live sphagnum moss contribute consider- 
able to the general good result. Fibrous peat, per bag, 
$2 ; per barrel, $2.50 ; prices for larger quantities on ap- 
plication.

riety, upland grown, $3 per barrel; second quality,
