many of the leading cultivators of these ‘remarkable and fascinating plants, who E 
have pointed out to us the want which we* are now endeavouring to meet. The 
great advantage and pleasure which Orchid Growers have derived from the publication 
of such illustrated works as the Select Orchidaceous Plants, and such practical 
instructions as are given in the Orchid Grower's Manual, lead us to believe that 
there exists a desire and a taste for further Orchidic literature, which we trust 
the Orcuip ALBUM may in some considerable degree supply. Our chief aim will 
be to give authentic information as to the nomenclature of the plants, and_ to 
disseminate correct instructions in regard to their cultural requirements. The finer 
new Orchids, as well as the older meritorious species and varieties, will be figured 
with equal fidelity, and described with equal accuracy. We shall at all times feel 
grateful to those Amateurs or Trade growers who may give us. Information as to the 
flowering either of novelties or of remarkably fine forms of the older kinds, especially * 
if they are such as will be suitable for figuring. —— * « 
The Annual Volumes will consist of the twelve Monthly Parts issued up. to June 
in each year, when the volume will be completed y the Publication of a Title Page 
and Index.
