I do not recommend the cultivation of Orchids with fruit trees in the same house, although it can be done, and sometimes successfully, by those who fidly understand their requirements, during the vaiious stages of growth, but, unless in very experienced hands, such treatment would most probably end in failure, and I am desirous of bringing about an opposite state of affairs. Many of the most beautiful species of Cool and Intermediate Orchids "v\dll, as before remarked, grow with other plants, provided the conditions of the atmosphere and temperature are suitable. I am aware that many amateurs, especially those living in towns, labour under a difficulty, owing to the limited area of their glass structures, which are sometimes placed in unfavourable positions, although some of these may be^suitable for a restricted class of plants. It is not unusual to see a glass structure resembling (Fig. 1) a lean-to house,. against the dwelling-house or a garden wall, having an east or west aspect, and where Orchids, requiring the treatment of an intermediate house, can be grown, as well as many stove (warm- house) Orchids. If such a lean-to house has either a north, north-east, or north-west aspect. Cool Orchids will flourish; but it.
