Eight perfect flowers in bloom, gentlemen, and four--no, five more to open.

A strong plant in perfect health, six pseudo-bulbs with leaves, and three without.

Two black leads which I am advised can be separated off at the proper time.

Now, what bids for the 'Odontoglossum Pavo.' Ah! I wonder who will have the honour of becoming the owner of this perfect, this unmatched production of Nature.

Thank you, sir--three hundred.Four.Five.Six.Seven in three places.
