Gentlemen, —I have received the Garden Frames, and I 
am quite delighted with them. They are really well got up, 
well timbered, and the sides and ends being grooved, will pre¬ 
vent that objectionable swaging so prevalent in these kind of 
boxes. I shall certainly recommend them to my brothers in the 
trade.—R.GILBERT, Head Gardenerto theMarquisof Exeter.

March 26th, at half-past 12 o’Clock precisely, 
The entire Importation of this most superb Cattleya. 
The consignment, brought home under the personal care of the Collector, is in exceptional order, and 
it has not been our fortune before to offer a finer, more compact, and altogether satisfactory lot of plants, 
and we do not hesitate to say that we have never seen such splendid sound pieces. They are well shaped, 
leaves fresh and green,' and eyes perfectly dormant, and are the result of two years’ diligent search. 
Cattleya Lawrenceana belongs to the very finest of the genus ; the colour of the large flower is deep, rich, and 
warm; the lip is flat and large, the lower half intensely dark and brilliant; throat yellow, and often finely 
veined with red. There are no poor or light-coloured varieties among them, and although this Cattleya varies 
in the markings of the inner lip, all are superb. It is a free-growing, free-flowering species, the flower- 
spikes on plants show up to fifteen flowers. Habit of plant is most compact, bulbs thick and varying in 
size from 6 to 15 inches. The leaves are in some varieties reddish in colour, in others green, and from 
6 to 9 inches long. 
On view morning of Sale, and Catalogues had.
