 • An Immense Stock of recently-imported Plants com- 

 pels a sale of the established plants to make room. They have 

 not yet flowered, but are all flowering plants, and must be sold 

 at a great sacrifice. Very valuable varieties are certainly to be 

 obtained, and great bargains. See Public Journals for high 

 prices recently obtained. The Special Offer affords a paying 

 investment to anyone with glass at command, which should not 

 be overlooked. Such plants may never again be offered to the 

 public and the Trade. LILIES, Silver Banksian Medal, Silver
