ORCHIDS FOR FASCINATION 
The lure of the Orchid goes beyond the grace and beauty of 
the blossoms. The idea of exotic rarity is a part of it, but 
more than anything else, it can be the sense of achievement 
in having grown such loveliness. The growing is not too dif- 
ficult, a little greenhouse may help, but many are growing 
Orchids on enclosed porches, or just in a window. A helpful 
book is HOME ORCHID 
GROWING, by Northen, 
Illustrated. We can supply 
it at $6.60 per copy. 
ORCHID PLANTS we of- 
fer should mostly bloom 
within the year under right

dling by purchaser, we do 
not guarantee bloom.
