BY HARRIET STEWART MINER. 



The CuLTrvATiON of Orchids is easily comprehended, and the method is very simple, as the pages of this volume 

 enccessfully explain. Heat, ventilation and moisture are the chief factors. "An orchid house," says the author, "should 

 smell sweet as a flowery meadow does during a sudden burst of sunshine after a summer shower." They require, how- 

 ever, "as much care as a large family of children, and in bestowing such attention on the plants we come to love them." 



This sumptuous volume is over 14 inches in lengthy 11 niches wide, 1>^ inches in thickness, gilt edges, beveled covers 

 and binding richly adorned in black and ffold, and m the new bt-nnti'ful silver, gold or bronze cloth, making a rarely 

 sumptuous book. Gold cloth, full gilt, 9S15.00 ; Turkey Morocco, »30.00; Tree call, »30.00. Address,
