SALE OF THE LATE Mr. J. C. HARvEY’s OrcHIDS.—From an advertise- 
ment on another page it will be seen that the fine collection of Orchids 
brought together by the late Mr. J. C. Harvey, La Buena Ventura, Estado 
de Veracruz, Mexico, is to be disposed of. We have received a classified 
list, showing that the collection contains 2,000 plants, of 361 named 
species, belonging to 65 genera, and that both eastern and western Orchids, 
including such showy genera as Cattleya and Dendrobium, as. well as 
botanical rarities, are very well represented. Mr. Harvey was a keen collector 
and grower, as may be seen from his article on Orchids of South Mexico, 
which was a feature of our issue for January, 1g15 (pp. 12-18). The sale 
should afford an excellent opportunity for Orchidists, particularly in the 
United States, to increase their collections. Particulars may be obtained 
of Mr. J. L. Hermessen at the address stated.
