NATURE NOTES We have a. very pretty orchid here; the Lad ' (rarely white) with a sac-like in- flared "lip" and once seen is not likely to be forgotten. It is scarce and lfltely to become scarcer, be- cause it is subjected to ruthless gathering and gets no chance to produce seed. There is another fac- tor operating against this, and for the matter of that, all other or- chids: though each flower produces hundreds of seeds. they are as fine as dust and have no reserve food to carry them over their "infant" stage. Consequently should they fall to the ground in a spot where the conditions are the least un- favorwble, the cannot grow. The cultivated orchids are in gen- eral very valuable, as one soon dis-g covers when one goes to purchase’ the flower: and orchid growerst have for years been experimenting to find a reliable medium in which the seeds and make sure of their growth. Peat moss, fungi. and various kinds of manure, have all been tried and rejected, till at last it was found that agar-agar, a jelly-like susbstance produced from a Japanese sea-weed, fulfill- ed all the conditions, and enabled the experimenters to germinate the seeds at will, The low-growing Sanvitalla pro- cumbtms has proved to be the most satisfactory of the four annuais tested out on my little rockcry this year.
