It shares experiences from experienced growers, including successful crosses, unusual developments after fertilization, and tips for managing different climate and house conditions. The writing emphasizes experimentation, careful record-keeping, and adapting techniques to your space.

Daily News some months ago :I thank you for reminding your readers, by reference to my humble work, that the delight of growing orchids can be enjoyed by persons of very modest fortune. To spread that knowledge is my contribution to philanthropy, and I make bold to say that it ranks as high as some which are commended from pulpits and platforms. For your leader-writer is inexact, though complimentary, in assuming that any special genius enables me to cultivate orchids without more expense than other greenhouse plants entail, or even without a gardener. I am happy to know that scores of worthy gentlemen ladies too not more gifted than their neighbours in any sense, find no greater difficulty.
