Single orchids now bring $1.80 in thev Portland market But -their r wonderful delicacy of . form and their ' exquisite shadings' in color make the price cheerfully paid by lov ers of rare and perfect blossoms. There are! several reasons for the high price of orchids. One is the tariff for the roots are brought from the tropics another is the difficulty of growing the plants after the bulbous like roots have been received.
