PRELIMINARY NOTICE. 
“AMONGST THE CATTLEYA,” 
O UR MR, EDWARD WALLACE having collected 
some magnificent Cattleya Trianee in flower 
in the best localities of the interior of Colombia, 
escaped with his plants down the river in a canoe, and having 
passed safely through the contending forces, sent on his eases 
to us, and proceeded to collect Cattleya Mossite in flower. 
He is now (D.Y.) on his way home, having had the rare luck 
to obtain, amongst other fine forms, two most magnificent 
Cattleyas—the finest plant of the rare C. Reine. 
chiana ever seen, and a specimen plant of C. 
Wagneri with over 100 bulbs. Both were seen and 
collected in flower, and their blooms were very large 
and beautiful. These with his other plants will be ottered 
for sale by auction immediately on his arrival in England 
(middle of June). Further particulars later on. 
His rambles and adventures during the war are most 
interesting. _

Special Offer of Orchids. 
C HEAP ORCHIDS.—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 and are 
flowering can also he had if required, but many growers prefer 
unflowered plants, because there are frequently valuable 
varieties which well repay the purchaser, shillings well invested 
being quickly converted into pounds.—Apply to AY. GORDON,
