A USEFUL ORCHID.
Cypripedium insigne is one of the most useful orchids for the amateur's greenhouse, where it will flower during the winter months. Plants that were attended to in spring as directed have now made good growth. They need to be inured to full sunshine at this season and must not be dried off. So treated the blooms will gradually develop and in time give a good display. ONIONS. It is well to remember that the earliest onions are not commonly good keepers, for which reason they should be eaten first. They should be pulled with long necks and hung in a dry, cool place for a few days, when they will be ready for the table. Most of the white varieties are the quickest to spoil. The red onions are the best keepers, with the yellow varieties next. Bearing that in mind, the gardener will be wise to eat them in the order named.
