LOVERS OF FINE PLANTS 



Are invited to visit my collection, which contains, in great variety, 

 most noble specimens of 



Orchids, Palms, Ferns and Nepenthes, 



As well as such other plants as are suitable for cultivation in the 



HOTHOUSE OR THE GREENHOUSE.= 



My collection of ORCHIDS, especially, has received numerous and valuable 

 additions during the past year ; and, owing to the large importations, prices 

 have been much reduced. * 



I expect to publish, within a few weeks, a NEW CATALOGUE, and this 

 shall be sent FREE OF CHARGE to all who ask for it.
