ODONTOGLOSSUM, Continued. 
O. Harryanum. The latest import- 
ant addition to the Odontoglot fam- 
ily, and a grand and unexpected 
surprise. A really fresh type, as 
Professor Reichenbach deservedly 
called it when it first flowered, but 
it has ever since then become a 
greater favorite with all. It has 
given ample evidence of a f ree-gx'ow- 
ing and fi-ee-flowering habit, and 
will no doubt prove to be a grand 
acquisition, especially for cut-flower 
purposes. Good strong established 
flowering plants, $3.50 and upwards. 
O . Hdwardii. One of the rarest types 
of Odoutoglots, being so distinct 
from all others. In color, the flow- 
ers, which are borne upon a strong 
pyramid-like spike, are of a peculiar 
blue, with a very conspicuous yellow 
eye ; altogether an odd but pleasing 
contrast. 
O. Boezlii. This most charming and 
very showy Odontoglot, although not 
exactly new, is still one of the grand- 
est. Its large and showy flowers, of 
many different soft and pleasing col- 
ors, produced from small and minia- 
ture-like plants, make it one of the 
most interesting Orchids in cultiva- 
tion. We offer some extra strong and very healthy 
specimens, some of which have given as many as thir- 
teen flowers from a single bulb. $5 and upwards. 
O. ve^llarium. This now well-known and much ap- 
preciated showy Orchid is not unlike the beautiful O. 
RoezUl in its peculiarly marked flowers, but is of a 
much stronger and more i-obust habit than that va- 
riety. Its grand metal-like colored foliage gives it a 
very distinct appearance. A niimber of grand speci- 
mens, including the choice varieties of ruhellum and 
superbum, $5 and upwards. See cut in department of 
Oreliids for Intermediate Temperature. 
ONCIDIUIffl cebolleta. A quite new introduction, and 
a most distinct and very interesting species, with long 
round leaves, twelve to twenty inches, which are of a 
downward habit of growth ; much like the well-known 
0. Jtmesianum, but of stronger habit; it bears num- 
berless beautiful flowers of brown and gold, upon large 
branching panicles ; a very strilcing plant, of easy cul- 
ture. Some strong specimens, $5 and upwards. 
O. crispum. One of the most satisfactory and free- 
flowering Orchids, growing upon blocks and rafts with- 
out much care or attention, and giving imposing flow- 
ers all through the year. We ofl'er some extraordi- 
nary large masses, well established, at.?.5 and upwards. 
O. macranthum. This most magnificent Oncidium is 
without doubt the largest and finest of the genus. 
Flowers from three to four inches in diameter, with 
clawed sepals and petals of a very fleshy texture; tho 
upper one of a golden olive brown, the two lateral 
sepals deep orange yellow, while the petals are a clear 
bright yellow, and its rather short lip of a dark brown 
ODONTOGLOSSUM HARRYANUM. 
purple ; one of the best ever introduced. Strong spec- 
imens, §7.50 and upwards. 
O. macranthum hastiferum. An improvement on the 
foregoing, with much larger flowers, of more intense 
and richer coloring. 
O. sarcodes. A remarkably fine species, producing Its 
masses of rich brown and golden flowers upon branch- 
ing spikes, often six feet long, all through the year. 
It is of free growth. Pine specimens, .?5 and upwards. 
O. splendidum. This rare and noble species is one of 
the grandest of the genus. Somewhat like O. tigrmum, 
but flowers are larger and handsomer than that variety, 
with a rich and peculiar combination of color. Grows 
freely in the Cattleya house. Strong, well established 
plants, .¥10 and upwards. 
O. varicosum Rogersii. (True.) This is called the 
"Golden Butterfly," and is much like O. vamosum in 
appearance and color, though many times larger. It is 
a most charming and showy species, with densely 
branched nodding panicles of rich golden yellow flow- 
ers, as many as upwards of two hundred having been 
counted on a single plant. It is winter flowering, and 
a most desirable Orchid, of easy cultivation in an inter- 
mediate house. Fine strong specimens, .$5 and upward. 
O. Weltoni (MiUmiia Warseewiczit Wcltoni). This, 
though not new, is of such interesting character, both, 
in form and color of flower, that we deem it worthy 
of description. Its branching flower scape bears great 
numbers of substantial flowers which remain a long 
time in perfection. It is a free and easy grower, and 
needs intermediate temperature. Finely established 
strong plants, $3.50 and upwards.
