Book excerpt: Excerpt from Orchids for Everyone The object of the present work is to extend greatly the popularity of Orchids among that ever-increasing class of business people who have a great love for plants and flowers, and find in their study and culture a delightful recreation and an absorbing hobby. The arrangement of the subject matter is unique. No previous attempt has been made to group Orchids according to their value for general cultivation, and it is believed that the system will appeal strongly to those who contemplate the culture of Orchids, as well as to those thousands who have newly fallen under the fascination of these wonderfully beautiful and interesting plants. This arrangement should be the means of saving beginners from much vexation of spirit, and from the disappointment and loss that are sure to follow a bad selection of kinds to start with. In the first group the best kinds with which to commence Orchid culture are indicated clearly, and in the selection due regard has been paid to beauty, interest, ease of culture, and cost. The best methods of culture are described, and many of those little details that make all the difference between success and comparative failure are pointed out. For those who, after achieving some success, are willing to incur the expense of obtaining and cultivating them, the rarer and more highly-priced Orchids are also described; while Orchid genera of secondary importance, and those that appeal by their quaintness and botanical interest, are included towards the end of the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bog-Trotting for Orchids Many people are accustomed to think of the orchid as a tropical ﬂower which grows in our country only in cultivation and under highly artificial conditions. It is, however, true that many of the most attractive species of this beautiful group are endemic to most parts of the United States. There are to-day, accord ing to conservative reports, from twenty-seven to thirty genera and from one hundred and fifty to one hundred and sixty species of native orchids found in North America, north of Mexico. Most of these are terrestrial or earth-loving. There are eleven epiphytes, all of which are found only in the Southern States. The range of the North American orchids extends wherever sunshine and moisture prevail, nearly as far north as the Arctic Circle. Four Cypripediums grow between latitudes 54° and and from fifteen to eighteen species of the Orchid Family are natives of Alaska.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from About Orchids: A Chat I do not give detailed instructions for culture. No one could be more firmly convinced that a treatise on that subject is needed, for no one assuredly has learned, by more varied and disastrous ex perience, to see the omissions of the text-books. They are written for the initiated, though designed for the amateur. Naturally it is so. A man who has been brought up to business can hardly re sume the utter ignorance of the neophyte. Un consciously he will take a certain degree of know ledge for granted, and he will neglect to enforce those elementary principles which are most im portant of all. Nor is the writer of a gardening book accustomed, as a rule, to marshal his facts in due order, to keep proportion, to assure himself that his directions will be exactly understood by those who know nothing.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Orchids: Their Structure, History and Culture Fashion is proverbially variable, and its dictates always in uence a large proportion of a community, particularly in regard to the ordinary customs of life; the fashion of dress is all important, but there is also'a fashion in walking, talking, and writing, that varies with the age and gives distinctive characters to every generation. It is not, however, to these matters alone that fashion is confined, for it has in modern times extended its in uence to the plant world, and the oral favourites of one period have been proportionately neglected at another, being superseded by some in which more pleasing qualities have been discovered or imagined. The changeability has not been so great or so frequent in the latter case as in the former, but it has in several instances been equally unreasonable. Who has not heard of the notorious Tulip mania, which caused thousands of persons in Holland under the in uence of a speculative madness to risk all their possessions in the purchase of bulbs that had acquired a grossly fictitious value? Like other bubbles of a similar character, it burst at last and ruined innumerable homes, but' this was a strikingly exceptional case, and happily we have had nothing of the same nature in the plant world since. Many families of plants have risen successively in favour. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Woodlands Orchids: Described and Illustrated, With Stories of Orchid-Collecting This work is not of the class which needs a Preface. But to the Editors of the Pall Mall Gazette, Sunday Times, Black and White, Chambers's Journal, Wide Wide World, and Badminton Magazine I am indebted for license to republish my stories of Orchid-seeking, and it is pleasant to acknowledge their courtesy. If those tales amuse the general reader, I trust that other portions of the work will be found not uninteresting, nor even unprofitable, by orchid-growers. Plain descriptions of scarce species and varieties are not readily accessible. A mere list of the hybrids in the Woodlands collection would be found useful, pending the issue of that international catalogue which must be undertaken shortly; but beyond this I have noted the peculiarities of colour and form in such of the progeny as seemed most curious. No doubt many experts will wish that I had described some which are passed over and omitted some described - without agreeing among themselves in either case perhaps. But I have done my best.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Native Orchids: A Series of Drawings From Nature, of All the Species Found in the Northeastern United States The text to accompany the illustrations has been plainly set forth in simple English from Mr. Gibson's notes, from the undescriptive statistics of manuals of botany and from an intimate acquaintance with the wild orchids themselves. It is hoped that others may make the observations on their insect visitors that he had prepared himself to make. The orchids should no longer be a mere Latin-named family of plants to squeeze to death in a press and to mount in withered array in a herbarium, but a group of individuals living in a social relation to the insect world and worthy of the most intimate acquaintance and observation. To older botanists who are accustomed to call the Rattle snake Plantain Goodyera, and the lady's-tresses Spiranthes, it may seem like an innovation to use the names Peramium and Gyrostachys. But the latter, as well as all the scientific names here appended to the popular titles, are the old, true names.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Orchids of New England: A Popular Monograph Originally, Darwin tells us, the ﬂower consisted of fifteen organs, arranged alternately, three within three, in five whorls or circles; three sepals, three petals, six anthers in two circles (of which only one belonging to the outer circle is perfect in all the common forms) and three pistils, with one of them modified into the rostellum. Of the existence of three of the anthers. In two 'of the whorls, R. Brown* offers no sufficient evidence, but believes that they are combined with the labellum whenever that organ presents crests or ridges. The amount of change these ﬂowers have undergone from their parental or typical form is enormous. Organs are used for purposes widely different from their proper use, - other organs have been entirely suppressed or have left mere useless emblems of their former existence. Two stamens belonging to the outer circle, that were or became petal-like, have united with a real petal to form the lip. Seven organs have united to form the column, of which three alone perform their proper function, namely one anther and two generally conﬂuent stigmas, with the third stigma modified into the rostellum and inca pable of being fertilized, - and with three of the anthers no longer functionally active, but serving either to protect the pollen of the fertile anther, or to strengthen the column, or existing as mere rudiments, or entirely suppressed. To trace the gradations perfectly between the several species and groups of species in this great and closely-connected order, all the ex tinct forms which have ever existed along many lines of descent converging to the common progenitor would have to be called into life. 1.
