DENDROBIUM. A large and very elegant genus, most of -which are easily grown, and among the most satisfactory of plants. They are not as particular regarding tempera- ture as some other orchids, and the tro- pical species, at least, will be benefit- ted by removal to a cooler and dryer at- mosphere, after growth is matured, and during the flowering season. Nearly all will thrive best in a basket of fern root and a little sphagnum. D. crassinode. Sepals and petals clear waxy-white, tipped with rich purple; lip purple with a dark orange blotch at the base. 82 to 82.50 each. D. Dalhousieanum. Flowers large, pale buff, shaded with lemon; lip with two large crimson blotches, margined pink. 83 to §4 each. D. densiflorum. FlowTers rather small, clear amber; lip orange. 81 to $1.50 each. D. formosum giganteum. Flowers five to six inches in diameter, pure white, with orange throat. $2.50 to $4 each. ONCIDIUM. 0. Papilio. Trinidad. (The Butterfly Orchid.) Flowers large,bright yellow, barred with brown. The resemblance to a large butterfly is striking. $1.50 to $2.50 each. 0. Papilio Kramerianum. A distinct and beautiful variety; the flowers are large, and darker colored, the mark- ings very clear and distinct. Large plants with three to five growths, $2 to $3 each. PERISTERIA ELATA. From Panama. (The Dove or Holy Ghost Flower; the Espirtu Santo of the Spaniards.) In this species the waxy white flowers are produced on strong spikes, the central portion or column of the flower appearing like a white dove, with wings partially extended. These are terrestrial orchids, and require to be grown in pots containing rough peat and sphagnum with plenty of drainage. $2 and 83. up to $10 each, according to size of clumps. PHAUENOPSIS SCHILLERIANA. From Manilla. A very elegant plant, producing large spikes of rose colored flowers, and remarkable for the beauty of its foliage, which is marbled with light green on a rich green ground. $7 to 810 each. VAN DA. V. ccemlea. Khasya. Flowers large, light blue, which deepens in the lip; a very elegant plant. 83 to 85 each.</i><br><b>Text Appearing After Image: </b><br><i>CYPRIPEDIUM BELLATULUM V. insignis. Moluccas. Flowers light yellow, spot- ted crimson, with a lilac lip; very beautiful and quite fragrant. 86 each. VANILLA. V. aromatica. West Indies.

Leaves much larger and thicker than the preceding; flowers clear green or with a white lip. 81.50 each. Government Botanic Gardens, Saharanpur, India. R. D. Hovt, Seven Oaks, Fla. May ijth, i8go. My Dear Sir; The box of plants arrived yesterday, and I have much pleasure in returning mv best thanks for them. I must compliment you on your packing ; the trees are all alive, and some of them have made long branched growths, owing to their long confinement (ten weeks). The run from Port Said, through the Suez canal down the Red Sea and across to Bombay occu- pies fully ten days, and as the temperature in those parts, in the months of April and May, is as near that of the infernal regions as is to be found on this earth, nothing but your good packing saved the plants. I should like to have a box of vour best orange trees next season, packed in the same manner. Yours faithfully, ' W Gollan. And Again Under Date of May 26, 1891: Dear Sir: Yours of the 5th January last and the box of oranges came duly to hand in good condition, although longer en route than usual. I am greatly obliged to you for your kindness, and &gt;vould like to get another lot of oranges next cold season, if I am not imposing too far on your good nature. Yours faithfully, \V. Gollan.</i><br><br><b>Note About Images</b><br></p>
