The Coloured Figures by JOHN NUGENT FITCH, P.L.S. 



Illustrations of Orchidaceous Plants are in great request, and the ORCHID ALBUM has been projected 

 vith the object of supplying the demand for them. Ibe Album is issued in Royal Quarto, "which enables 

 the Artist to produce ample and intelligible portraits of the plants, -which ai e drawn and coloured by hand in 

 the best style, and ■will, we trust, be acceptable to the Orchid-loviDg public. 



The text comprises English botanical descriptions of the plants figured, notes on their cultivation, and 

 Buch general observations concerning them as may be likely to prove of interest or utility to Orchid growers. 

 The subjects selected for the Illustrations will comprise the most ornamental and attractive species and 

 varieties, new and old, of this noble and beautiful family ; and we ^hail feel obliged to those Amateurs or 

 Trade growers who may commimicate with us for the purpose of Illustrating either Novelties or specially 

 fine forms of older kinds. No pains will be spared, on our part, to secure accuracy in every detail, both in 

 regard to the figures and descriptions, and we hope to present to our subscribers an Annual Album of Floral 

 Pictxires, which will be at once welcomed to the Drawing-rt om and the Library.

 months; each part contains four handsomely hand-coloui'cd Plates, with descriptive Letterpress; and a
