customers, and will forward package and carriage free all orders 
of Ten Shillings and upwards. This will enable his Customers i» 
the country to purchase Plants at the same price as is paid at the 
nursery by those resident in London and Suburbs. 
The fact that these plants with ordinary care can be grown in 
a greenhouse has given an impetus to orders, and nearly all 
lovers of flowers are now Orchid growers and are forming col- 
lections, which, besides being very interesting, will become 
valuable as there are no plants which pay better for growing 
into specimens.
