Orchids, as well as of stove and greenhouse plants. 
EUROPEAN ORCHIDS.—The Album des Orchidées d’Europe, published in 
1889, and out of print since 1905, has been so frequently enquired for, that 
the author, M. Henri Correvon, of Floraire, Chéne-Bourg, Geneva, has 
decided to publish a new edition, with six new coloured plates from originals 
by Mrs. Godfery, representing seven species from the Mediterranean littoral. 
A total of 67 species of European Orchids are represented in 66 plates, 
with descriptive text. To subscribers who enter their names before 
December 31st, 1923, the price will be 20 francs, the same as for the 1899 
edition. After January Ist, 1924, the price will be raised to 25 francs. 
The coloured plates, admirably reproduced, comprise all the European 
Orchids, except some types of Ophrys, Serapias, etc., belonging to the most 
southerly areas of Italy, Greece and Spain. The text in the new edition 
is slightly abridged.
