CATTLEYA MENDELII. 
SPECIALLY FINE STRAIN. 
The following are an exceptionally fine, healthy batch of plants, which are 
worth special attention. Owing to the prolongation of the revolution in Columbia, 
this lovely Cattleya has become exceedingly scarce in the country. The type is the 
best of any form imported, the flowers being of splendid shape, with dark much- 
frilled labellums.
