 Orchid Review more popular. D. A. Law. 



I think the idea of setting apart a small space in the Orchid Review for 

 exchange of duplicates &c, is very good, and would serve a useful purpose. 

 I shall be glad to avail myself of it, and think a small charge for insertion 

 would be gladly paid by anyone having duplicates to exchange. I hope to 

 see in your next issue a notice to the effect that you have decided to try it,

Your correspondent's suggestion respecting a column for exchange or 

 Sale of Duplicates will meet with the approval cf all amateurs like myself,

 Duplicates and Desiderata, such lists not to exceed twenty names, and to 

 be accompanied by the names and addresses of the senders (for publication), 

 accompanied by a fee of one shilling to cover the cost. The lists will not 

 be printed in the body of the work, and of course it will be understood that 

 the Editor is not responsible for the correctness of the names or the 

 condition of the plants offered. We hope this will suffice to give the 

 matter a start : the conditions may be varied hereafter as circumstances
