Excerpt from The Woodlands Orchids: Described and Illustrated, With Stories of Orchid-Collecting The Editors of the Pall Mall Gazette, Sunday Times, Black and White, Chambers; 70mm], Wide i/vide World, and Badminton Magazine I am indebted for license to re publish my stories of Orchid - seeking, and it is pleasant to acknowledge their courtesy. If those tales amuse the general reader, I trust that other portions of the work will be found not uninteresting, nor even unprofitable, by orchid growers. Plain descriptions of scarce species and varieties are not readily accessible. A mere list of the hybrids in the Woodlands collection would be found useful, pending the issue of that international catalogue which must be under taken shortly but beyond this I have noted the peculiarities of colour and form in such of the progeny as seemed most curious. No doubt many experts will wish that I had described some which are passed over and omitted some described - without agreeing among themselves in either case perhaps. But I have done my best.
