dark brown. The light yellow ground colour gives it a very pretty effect. 
LatH ROLLER BLinps.—The shading season is now here, and Messrs. 
Walters & Co., Amberley Works, Morley Road, Croydon, have sent us 
their illustrated price list, with samples cf the different kinds of blinds 
manufactured by them for shading Orchid houses and other plant 
structures. Their Lath Roller Blinds are too well known to require 
description, and are the most effective of shadings, admitting plenty of 
light while affording protection from the sun’s rays. They are also 
effective when let down to maintain the night temperatures in winter. 
Samples of canvas, tiffany, and bamboo blinds are also sent. The firm also 
manufacture Orchid baskets, and other horticultural appliances of excellent 
quality. An advertisement appears on another page, and catalogue and 
samples will be forwarded on application.
