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

unnamed.

Bulbs than they have when received from their native countries. A®rides, Saccolabiums, Vandas,

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.
