Since issuing my last Catalogue of Orchids, I have added largely to my stock. Having regular 

 shipments from Mexico, Guatemala, Central and South America, East Indies, Burmah, Philippine 

 Islands, Borneo, Madagascar, and other countries celebrated for their Orchids, and as these importa- 

 tions are frequently arriving during the spring and summer months, it follows as a consequence, that 

 I have nearly at all times a great number of species not in Catalogue, as well as new and rare sorts 

 unnamed. 



Remarkably fine plants and masses of Angrsecums, Grammatophyllums, &c, from Madagascar, 

 Dendrobiums, Saccolabiums, JErides, &c, from Burmah, are offered. 



From our bright sun and clear bright atmosphere, my Tropical Orchids are superior to any grown 

 in England, or the continent of Europe. My Dendrobiums make longer, thicker, and finer Pseudo- 

 Bulbs than they. have when received from their native countries. iE rides, Saccolabiums, Vandas, Pha- 

 lseuopsis, &c, make stronger growths, with rampant roots and healthy foliage. Our climate is perfection 

 for Tropical Orchids. 



My prices are very much lower than they can be purchased for in Europe, in many cases not more 

 than one-half, and stronger, and in every respect superior plants. What are offered there as cheap 

 Orchids are in most cases little pieces. 



It is difficult to give prices of Orchids in a Catalogue ; a plant of any species may not be worth one 

 dollar, whilst a fine plant of the same species may be worth five dollars. Orchids I can supply cheap 

 and nice plants, I have also fine specimens where such are desired at extra prices. Of many I can 

 supply large masses. Parties forming collections would do well to visit my establishment, and look out 

 their plants. I have every confidence they will be more than pleased in'quality and price. 



All are established in Pots or Baskets, or upon Blocks.
