Excerpt from The Orchid-Grower's Manual: Containing Descriptions of the Best Species and Varieties of Orchidaceous Plants; Together With Notices of Their Times of Flowering, and Most Approved Modes of Treatment; Also, Plain and Practical Introductions Relating to the General Culture of Orchids
We have introduced many new illustrations representing as far as possible each genus, and most of the more popular species and varieties; many of these are original, others have been very kindly lent by the Editors of The Gardeners' Chronicle, The Journal of Horticulture, The Gardening World, The Garden, The Gardeners' Magazine, A. H. Smee, Esq., Messrs. James Veitch Sons, Mr. W. Bull, and other kind friends, to whom we have to record our most sincere thanks.
To our old friend and coadjutor Mr. W. H. Gower we are indebted for assistance with the references and new descriptions of some of the plants here enumerated, also to Mr. R. A. Rolfe, of the Royal Herbarium, Kew, for information and assistance with the bigeneric hybrids, and to our colleague Mr. G. K. G-ude for assistance with regard to the references, figures, and reading of the proofs.
It is highly gratifying to us to receive constant communications from various parts of the world from Orchid Growers who express their delight in having read this work, and Who state that it was the means of their first commencing to grow this fascinating group of plants it is in deference to the wishes of many of our old subscribers that we have launched upon this new venture, and we hope that the support accorded to the former editions of this work by the Orchid-loving community may be renewed to this edition; no expense or pains have been spared to make it as complete as possible, and we have again been reluctantly compelled to increase the price. As before stated in the previous edition of this work we do not aim to instruct Botanists, but to assist Amateurs, by placing before them plain and practical information on a sound scientific basis, so that for the time and pains bestowed on the cultivation of this charming class of plants, they may be rewarded by the production of fine specimens, and as a consequence, abundant and beautiful flowers.
