usually have a gray or whitish growth on them which is merely tropical lichens and 
absolutely harmless,

pondence, C. O, D. costs you more, 
The culture of these plants is simple and of necessity our instructions are simple 
and to the point, In shinping plants everywhere we cannot state anything but a 
general and accepted practice, Though orchids and Bromeliads are touch plants and 
take much punishment they react differently in different places, You must find the 
proper location on your premises, then hands off,

why you should do without them! There are so many tynes that one may enjoy them all
