he is to be commended for preparing an 

 inexpensive volume teaching the owners 

 of small greenhouses in a simple practical 

 fashion the delight and pleasure they 

 may derive from growing a few orchids. 

 The book is divided into three parts. A 

 good index is supplied ; and the work 

 which is admirably printed in good clear 

 type — is embellished with twenty illus- 

 trations of beautiful cool and warm house 

 orchids, printed on art paper. Th 

 volume is interesting, practical and help- 

 ful, and may be heartily commended 

 to owners of small greenhouses as a 

 reliable and sound guide. '
