ORCHIDS.

THE ROYAL FAMILY OF PLANTS.

With illustrations from nature, by HARRIET STEWART MINER, comprising twenty-four magnificent specimens in colors, each 10 x 14 inches, reproductions of some of the most celebrated and costly varieties of this peculiar branch of the floral kingdom. Cloth, full gilt, $15.00. Turkey morocco, $30.00. Tree calf, $30.00. The orchids enjoy the distinction of having been the subject of study by Darwin to verify his theory of development. The various mutual adaptations of this flower and of the insects which resort to it for food, to secure the cross-fertilization of the flowers, are among the most striking instances of intelligent contrivance in nature. Aside from this wondrous intelligence, the orchid family exhibit singularities of shape, varieties of color, and other interesting features, which cannot be overlooked. In this truly regal volume, the story of the orchids is given in gossippy outlines, along with as fine a series of illustrations as art can produce.
