HE Orchids here offered have been secured from the 
tropics with a great outlay, and every year collectors 
report the plants get scarcer and more difficult to procure. 
The present season is the best for purchasing. The spring and 
summer months will enable the plants to quickly establish them- 
selves and produce a bountiful supply of flowers in the autumn 
and winter. 
Baskets and other receptacles for the plants, also compost, 
can be obtained from the auctioneer, and any information relative 
to their culture can be secured from expert growers on day 
of sale. 
Fresh flowers and colored illustrations of many of the 
varieties will be on view. 
SPECIAL NOTICE. 
Packing done by experienced men and purchasers from a 
distance will have their bids carefully attended to. 
Claims for deduction not allowed unless made immediately 
on receipt of goods. 
TERMS CASH.
