The prices of Orchids depending so much on the size and condition of the plants, 
besides being influenced by importations, Mr. W. B. has thought it advisablo not to 
price this List, but will have much pleasure in furnishing prices, sizes, &c., on 
application.

ASrides, Pkaleenopsis, Saccolabiums, and Van- 
das are not only very fine Orchids, but are some 
of the most beautiful flowering plants in cultiva- 
tion. iErides, in the way of crispum and odo- 
ratum, nobile and suavissimum, have blush or 
white flowers, slightly shaded or spotted with 
light rose, and comparatively thin loose spikes, 
with larger waxy flowers ; other varieties, such 
as affine, Lobbi, and Fieldingi , have close com- 
pact spikes of rather small flowers, very deli- 
cately spotted with beautiful rosy pink, 
Phalaenopsis are exceedingly ornamental, and 
very free flowering, produoing fine spikes of 
beautiful butterfly-like flowers. 
Saccolabiums, which resemble the smaller va- 
rieties of TEridcs, have close spikes, very oom- 
pact, of small flowers, beautifully spotted with 
bright rosy pink. 
Vandas produce fine large spikes of flowers 
with white grounds : V. carulea, shaded with 
sky blue ; V. gigantea, with brown spots ; V. 
suavis, with bright crimson bars and spots ; V. 
teres, with rose blotches ; V. tricolor has a rose 
lip, and is spotted with yellow and crimson.

These varieties of vestita are exceedingly 
beautiful and very useful as winter-flowering 
plants, are easily grown, and the flowers 
are very durable ; they should be grown in 
every collection of stove plants.
