FEAT, FIBROUS, of best quality. The proper article 
for growing most orchids is our fibrous peat, which is 
x'eally 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 sup- 
port and perfect drainage. In practice, it is used with 
about one-fourth dry sphagnum moss, chopped up vrith 
it and thoroughly mixed. 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. Our fibi'ous peat for orchid cul- 
ture we claim is of superior quality; nowhere else have 
we found peat to equal it. It is of lasting quality, and 
does not i-ot or decay quickly, as is generally the case 
with peat which is taken fi-om wet. marshy places— our 
peat is taken from upland beds, and therefore will last 
three times as long, and will not sour. Anyone famil- 
iar with the appearance of the healthy stock through- 
out all the orchid houses at Rose Hill, well knows that 
the quality of peat and the best quality of live sphag- 
num moss contribute considerable to the general good 
result. Fibrous peat, per bag, $2; per barrel, $3.50; 
pri<-cs for larger quantities on application.
