A grand species for cutting, most suitable for florists, easily grown 
and very fioriferous. Flowers large, carried on tall spikes ; nine flowers 
or more are often seen on a single spike. The sepals and petals are 
pure white, the lip is dark chocolate, handsomely fringed with blackish 
hairs. This splendid Orchid has not been imported for a long time, 
and we have great pleasure in now offering plants which are in fine 
order and should flower freely during the coming autumn.

Laelia Purpurata. 
The following specimens are undoubtedly the finest ever 
offered in this country. They are all exhibition plants, full of 
foliage, from 'which several spikes from each plant will be pro= 
duced. The blossoms are very large and appear four and five 
together on a stem during early spring, white and light rose 
with a rich dark crimson lip and golden yellow throat. It is 
one of the easiest and most satisfactory Orchids to grow either 
for exhibition or cutting purposes.
