FOUR GRAND NEW CATTLEYAS

CATTLEYA LABIATA GASKELLIANA. 
CATTLEYA WARSCEWICZII SANDERIANA. 
CATTLEYA AUREA. __ 
IV/TR. J. C. STEVENS has received instructions from Mr. F. Sander 
lVl to SELL by AUCTION, at his Great Rooms, 38, King Street, Cpvent Garden, W.C.. 
on THURSDAY NEXT, February 22, at half-past 12 o’Clock precisely, a fine lot of 
CATTLEYA LABIATA PERCIVALIANA, collected in flower and splendid varieties ; this is 
one of our very finest introductions, of which we feel duly proud. The first flowers of this grand 
Cattleya opened in the middle of December last, and there is no doubt that the established plants 
will flower this year in November and December, arid a little later than the old Labiata ; if is, 
however, a grander species, its superb coloured lip and its freer habit making it such. If the time 
of flowering, its exceeding floriferousness, fine and free habit, and the fact that among C. 
Percivaliana is never found what may be termed a bad variety (we here mean that the! very 
worst Percivaliana has still beauty in it, it is not ugly or washy), is taken into consideration, 
we think that we do not say , too much in stating that it is one of the finest Orchids 
we have introduced. Sepals and petals large, and far rounder than m any other Labiata, and 
often of that magnificent plumJcoloUr so rare in Cattleyas ; its lip is grand, and it is hardly possible to 
describe it; many most eulogistic terms, among others that it is “ mosaic,” have been given it, and 
by the Editor of the Gardener's Chronicle recalling the lip of Cattleya Dowiana. (See dried flowers.) 
Also a fine lot of CATTLEYA LABIATA GASKELLIANA, a new Cattleya of great promise arid 
merit; also an extra selected lot of CATTLEYA WARSCEWICZII SANDERLANA, one of the 
most beautiful Cattleyas introduced, unsurpassed for size and excellence of flower ; together with 
some fine plants of CATTLEYA AUREA. This is a superb type of Cattleya Dowiana, different 
in its typical form, through having a more confined margin of red than Dowiana in the lip, and 
more chaste than Dowiana. At the same time will be offered fine forms of CATTLEYA 
TRIANyE, CATTLEYA DOWIANA, and other ORCHIDS.

All my Caries of this valuable new and 
distinct variety are one year transplanted, 
and therefore may be expected to produce 
examples of its splendid Fruit this season. 
Since I had the pleasure of introducing it 
two years ago I have- been favoured with many 
hundred reports from my Customers who have 
planted it, giving the most convincing testi¬ 
mony of its superiority over all other known 
varieties, alike for size, productiveness, colour, 
and quality ; copies of which, with any other 
information, I shall be glad to forward on 
application.
