produce a most charming effect. Mr. Smith has succeeded 
in giving an admirable idea of this beautiful flower. The 
flowers are produced on a long spike, and stand nearly clear of 
each other. The petals are of a delicate pink, while the labellum 
is of the most brilliant purplish crimson. We believe that, as 
a general rule, the Miltonias succeed best in shallow baskets, 
in sphagnum, or on blocks of wood ; and this will probably 
succeed in the same manner.
