The first edition of this work was published forty-five years ago, and ever since its 
publication it has been considered to be the Orchid Grower’s Text Book, as is evinced by 
the numerous letters we are constantly receiving from all parts of the world, wherein our 
correspondents state that the “Orchid Grower’s Manual” has been their only book of 
reference and constant friend in the cultivation of these plants. 
This popular work has been entirely re-modelled and revised up to the present time, 
and has been enlarged to 800 pages. It contains descriptions of upwards of 2,600 species 
and varieties of Orchidaceous plants, together with 700 synonyms; also authorities for the 
names, the families to which the various genera belong, the flowering period, native country, 
and references to figures. In addition to this, chapters on the following subjects are
