ONCIDIUM JQNESIANUMr 
M ONSIEUB LOUIS DE SAINT LEGEBE, the 
introducer of the beautiful Orchid, ONCIDIUM 
JONESIANUM, has the honour to inform Amateurs and 
Nurserymen that he comes to England to resign to Messrs. 
F. Horsman & Co., Nurserymen, Colchester, all the disposable 
stock. It is the only and sole-depositary of this beautiful 
plant, found in 1S7S, on a voyage which he made to the 
province of Matto Grosso, Brazil', in the high forests bordering 
upon the Rio, Paraguay. In these elevated parts the 
thermometer descends several times a year to zero. 
As this Orchid is very difficult to meet with, it growing on a 
peculiar tree, it is necessary for Amateurs and Nurserymen 
who are desirous to enricli their collections, to direct their 
requests to Messrs. PRED. HORSMAN & CO„ for the stoek 
of this plant is in their hands. 
LOUIS DE SAINT LfiGERE. 
Desterro, Santa Catharina, April 2477i, 1885. 
Special Offer of Orebids. 
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 piece's. Growlers 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 be 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 W. GORDON, 
The Nurseries, Twickenham, Middlesex.
