“TREPHO” FOR ORCHIDS. 
This new material has been found a most successful article for 
Blocks, Rafts, and Pot Orchids. It is Live Sphagnum pressed 
into solid blocks by hydraulic pressure, after having been 
chemically treated, to prevent its decay or souring. In the 
saturated atmosphere of an Orchid house it absorbs and con¬ 
tinuously takes up aU the gases and moisture, and retains the 
same for several days without drying or being redipped. One 
dipping will last from three days to a week. Mr. Fred. Horsman, 
of Colchester, reports :—“ I have tried ‘Trepho ’ with very great 
success, having potted many thousand Orchids with it.” Sole
