The Coloured Figures by JOHN NUGENT FITCH, F.L.S. 



Illustrations of Orchidaceous Plants are in great request, and the OECHID AIiBUM has 

 been projected with the object of supplj-ing the demand for them. The Album is issued in 

 Koyal Quarto, which enables the Artist to produce ample and intelligible portraits of the 

 plants, which are drawn and coloured by hand in the best style, and will, we trust, be 

 acceptable to the Orchid-loving public. 



The test comprises English botanical descriptions of the plants figured, notes on their 

 cultivation, and such general observations concerning them as may be likely to prove of 

 interest or utility to Orchid growers. The subjects selected for the Illustrations will com- 

 prise the most ornamental and attractive species and varieties, new and old, of this noble 

 and beautiful family ; and we shall feel obliged to those Amateurs or Trade growers who 

 may communicate with us for the purpose of Illusti'ating either Novelties or specially fine 

 forms of older kinds. No pains will be spared, on our part, to secure accuracy in every 

 detail, both in regard to the figures and description:=, and we hope to present to our sub- 

 scribers an Annual Album of Floral Pictures, which will be at once welcomed to the Drawing- 

 room and the Library. 



The work is issued regularly; in Monthly Parts, each part contains four handsomely hand- 

 coloured Plates, with descriptive Letterpress ; and a volume, consisting of Twelve Parts, is 

 completed annually.
