Footnotes:

It seems not unlikely that scholars may read this and misunderstand. I am not ignorant that 'the Ancients' had frames, probably warmed green-houses--since they flowered roses at mid-winter--and certainly conservatories. But these facts do not bear upon the argument.

Two or three years ago, however, the Government of New Granada made a law forbidding such destruction of trees--a measure which has happily reduced the output of orchids, since the natives are unwilling to climb for them.
