Since issuing my last Catalogue of Orchids, I have added largely to my stock. 
Having regular shipments from my collectors in Mexico, Guatemala. Central and | 
South America, East Indies, Burmah, Philippine Islands, Borneo, Madaguscar, and | 
other countries celebrated for their Orchids, and as these importations are frequently | 
arriving during the spring and summer months, it follows asa consequence that I | 
have nearly at all times a great number of species not in Catalogue, as well as new | 
and rare sorts unnamed. | 
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. rides, Saccolabiums, Vandas, Phalenupsis, &c., make 
stronger growths, with rampant roots and healthy foliage. Our climate is perfec- 
tion 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. | 
W hat 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 doilars. 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. Purties 
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. “ul
