The first hips cab eles oe was cupablicked: ay. be 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 Growers Manual” has been their only book of |
