DENDROBIUM WARDIANUM. 
It would be almost absurd for us to attempt a description of the extraordinary beauty of 
most of these Dendrobiums, with all their range of exquisite colors; yet we may, in a few 
words, give some hints likely to be of use to those of our customers who desire to make a 
selection. 
Among those of the Dendrobiums which send out flowers of the various shades of yellow may 
be named D. CambridgL-atiutn, D. chrysoioxittn D. deiisijlorum and D. suavhshmtm. 
In some cases the flowers are produced in rows along the stems, in others they stand out 
in graceful spikes, and in others, again, they hang jdown in enormous clusters of golden yel- 
low, or orange, producing such a rich effect as can hardly be imagined. 
Among the white or blush-white blossoms, tmted with rose, carmine, purple, or shades of 
violet or lilac, are D, crassinodc, D. crepidaium, D. crystalUnum, D. Devonianuttt, D. 
Fahoneri, D. Farmer!, D. /ormosum, D. nobik, D. Pierard, D. primulimim, and the 
superb D. Wardianum. D. Ihyrsiflorum is a beautiful plant, freely producing great 
clusters of lovely flowers, which are of the purest white, with rich golden-orange centres. 
D. macrofhyllum is quite distinct ; it has large mauve-colored flowers. 
An additional merit of most of the Dendrobiums is "that their blossoms arc very sweetly 
fragrant.
