Special Offer of Orchids. 
G 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 anil are 
flowering can also be had if required, hut many growers prefer 
unflowered plants, because there are frequentlj- valuable 
varieties which well repay the purchaser, shillings well invested 
being quickly converted into pounds.—Apply to W. GORDON,
