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, 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,

perfume. Its properties for destroying insect pests, 
Sec., is equal to our Carbon Paste. We guarantee, if

work ; it is a cork spray and will fit any bottle. It sends a 
very fine spray about 4 feet, and if the rose is removed will 
send it 12 feet with the greatest ease. This is the most useful 
spray we have ever seen, and may be used for many purposes; 
it requires no strength, and a child can use it.
