Folio. LOVELL REEVE. 



The following is an extract from a notice of this Work 

 in the Gardeners' Chronicle, July 5, 1862 : 



" This new contribution to our knowledge of Orchids will appear in ten 

 quarterly parts, price 10s. 6d. each. The author states that ' having 

 one of the largest amateur collections of Orchidaceous plants, and being in 

 friendly correspondence with the principal growers throughout the country, 

 he possesses ample opportunities for selecting the most interesting species 

 and varieties for illustration. One object of the work will be to collect 

 and disseminate information as to the best means of growing and flowering 

 Orchidaceous plants. It is consequently intended to devote ample space to 

 the details of cultivation ; and the author will gladly avail himself of the 

 assistance of those who are willing to communicate the results of their 

 practice.' Mr. Williams, the author of the ' Orchid- Grower's Manual,' 

 and one of the most skilful of cultivators, being associated in the under- 

 taking, the public has the best possible guarantee that the foregoing 

 promise will be kept. The species now figured are 1, Phalaanopsis 

 Schilleriana; 2, Cattleya amethystoglossa ; 3, Vanda insignis ; and 4, 

 Oattleya Warscewiczii delicata. Of the three last noble plants the figures 

 are worthy of Fitch's skilful pencil."
