FAITH IN OBOHIDS' FUTURE. During the recent summer the trade was surprised to learn of the sale of his entire stock of dfchids by George Field to W. J. & M.'#. Vesey, Fort Wayne, Ind. Mr. Field was one of the oldest growers of orchids in the east, a large shipper of cut blooms. |uid the; sale of A,. ^^B stfck that made p(resible his retire- "^ " ment % said to have been the largest single transaction in orchid plants that ever has occurred in America. The stock now has all been transferred to Fort Wayne, where, added to the pre- vious Vesey collection, the plants oc- cupy six houses. In speaking of the plans of the firm Will J. Vesey, Jr., said: "We feel there is and will be a heavy demand for orchids and, basing our judgment on the demand of the American markets, we have ventured heavily into the growing of orchids. Our firm* first grew orchids in 1907 and we have increased our collection each year until at the present time we have about 16,000 plants. The collection em- braces practically all of the orchid fam- ily suitable for commercial purposes; namely, Cattleya labiata, C. Trianae, C. Percivaliana, C. Schroederse, C. Mossise, C. gigas, C. Mendelii and C. Bowringi- ana; Dendrobium formosum and D. Phalsenopsis, Lselia anceps alba, Vanda cffirulea, Cypripedium insigne and C. villosum Coelogyne cristata, Oncidium
