CERTAIN EASIER ORCHIDS 
Here are four Orchids that are rather easy to grow, easy 
enough so that you may bloom them readily in pots in a 
house window. They are worth growing, too, for their blos- 
soms are lovely and dainty. The plants are long-lived, and 
they will flower year after year. They need no special or 
difficult-to-give conditions, just regular potting soil and usual 
house plant care. Of course you can grow them in a green- 
house if you are lucky enough to have one, but definitely you 
do not have to wait for that greenhouse before having Orchids. 
Those here do well in full sun in winter, but prefer an eastern 
or a partly shaded window in summer. Bletilla goes dormant ° 
during the summer months, but the others keep in slow growth. 
Calanthe and Bletilla may also be grown in the open garden 
in climates no more severe than that of Philadelphia if given 
good winter protection of straw or leaves.
