There is a place In the garden, be tween the projecting south window of the studio and.the two great lilac clumps which shade it, where I have planted as many specimens of the rare lavender-pink fringed orchid as I have been able to find in my drives or walke about Onteora. bt would be difficult to. tell exactly how and why this flower manages to convey such a sense of its own superior value; of delicate and priceless worth; yet the fact remains that no flower in the garden Inspires #0 proud a sense of possession. When I found the first ones in a far-off wet meadow, and brought them home and planted them here, there was a Sense of surreptitiousness about the whole proceeding, like the hiding of jewels; and I am conscious of a certain furiive able to do my house- expect or require.
