the cheapest house in the trade, where universal satisfacti ion is given to all. Several letters have lately appeared in the gardening journals, discussing the CÓ v an expenditure on

operare or p ants on the way. The beri barrier ove E m aware of which would interfere h the suce cessful grow wth of Orchids by amateurs is the coddling so frequently resorted to, and
