To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Now, if any of our readers should be fortunate enough to import a lot of Orchids, the first thing they should do should be to cut away all and every part that is dead, then examine every part for insects, and use the proper methods to destroy them. Then for the upright-blooming species procure a number of flat logs and fasten the plants to them. Do not cut up the large specimens fasten them on blocks just as they have arrived. If there are a number of small bits that are alive, I advise them al...l, or as many of them as may be convenient, to be tied to a round log of a considerable length. Stanhopeas when they are imported require a different treatment. I once received a large mass just as it had been torn off its native bed. I cleansed it and placed it upon a simple raft of rods large enough to hold it. I put no moss or compost about the pseudo- bulbs, only fixing a wire at each corner, and, drawing them together, I then formed a loop, and thereby suspended the mass and raft to the roof.
