C HEAP OBCHEDS. — In consequence of having 
received large importations, I am able to dispose of my 
stock of plants received last year, now nice established plants, 
at very low prices; all are healthy, and those who prefer it can 
have this season’s imported pieces. Growers of Orchids would 
do well to order at once, as many fine gems are contained in 
the numerous importations received, which are mostly un¬ 
flowered. Established plants which have flowered ansfeare 
flowering can also be had if required, but many growers prefer 
unflowered plants, because there are frequently valuabft 
varieties which well repay the purchaser, shillings well invested 
being quickly converted into pounds.—Apply to vY. GORDON,

this pamphlet visited the principal estates where cow-keeping 
by farm labourers is encouraged, including that of Lord 
Tollemaehe in Cheshire, where nearly 30C labourers and cottagers 
keep cows, and insure them in admirably managed cow clubs, 
presenting the most successful example of cow-keeping on a 
well-organized system in England. The pamphlet contains

prietors, and others, with Plans of Cottages, Cowhouses, and 
_ Outbuildings. _
