Florists' Orchids. we give below a list of orchids for the use of such florists as have a fancy for their culture, not so much for profit perhaps, but rather that they may never be with- out flowers. They are arranged under the usual flowering months, after several years of culture. Newly imported plants flower in a more irregular way. The growing months are also appended, and here again newly imported plants are irregular in growth for a year or two, and this more especially applies to species from the southern hemisphere. Such species as may be propagated by division or the separation of the back bulbs are marked with a (*). Such others as should be renewed from fresh imports are marked (t). It is much more satisfactory to grow a select list of 50 or 100 good orchids each in quantity, which will cover the year with their bloom than to attempt the growth of a lot of stufl" which may never bloom, or bloom but very sparsely. Most of the 60 I have selected may be depended on to bloom every season, and most of them will make blooming plants from back bulbs, etc., in from three to five years, or something longer than a lilv or a tuberose.
