OROHIDS VALUED AT $50,000. Plower Worth Thirty Times its weight in Diamonds. London Mail. A' broad-shouldered, stalwart-look ing young man in a blue syiit, with carefully creased trousers, stood near the orchid section of the Temple Flow - r Show last evening, .watching with keen, alert glances the transferegce of - the precious plants to the growers' vans. The sentinel's'appearance was unmistakable; he - was a. city plain clothes detective. As the vast bank of orchids, stretch ing the whole length of the principal tent, rapidly thinned, the y'ung man drew a handkerchief across his brow, and, with a sigh of relief, murmured, Thank goodness, it is all over." . For three days lie had kept guard over $50,000 worth of orchids his place - being taken during the night time by other ivatcheis. * Ingenious precau tions were adopted to baffle the dis honest enterprise of any person who - might be desirous of snatching up a small fortune in the shape of a flower or two. Plants, for example, worth anything up to 2,000 guineas were purl)OScly lIaced iii the modest, coin pany of orchids closely resembling them *so far as the mt utored eye could detect, but valueless in comparison. ''A collection of orchids such as this is a great anxiety to the owners, observed Mr. Sander, of St. Albans, who doubted if he would accept $15, 000 for his own individual exhibits. "'Cases have occurred," lie added, "where after the publication of the description of some expensive variety of orchid, the plant has been careful ly picekd out from the other exhibits THEF NEWBERRI Newber Capital stock paid in Surplus . .

'Throughout the last twO' days I scarcely removed my glance from bie Odontoglossum crispum Leonard Per fect, which I sold f9r over $1,000. It consisted of about six flowers-large, r rounded, with a reddish brown blotch, bordered with white. Fortunatelyt, the buyer claimed it yesterday. ''Orchid growers do not insure their plants, but should an expensive speci men be stolen the owner could recog nize it years afterward. No. two or childs in higher varieties are alike; they resemble throughbreds in that they have 'points.' '' The Messrs Sander have won the gold cup, the gold medal and the t Veitchian cup. t Fourteen hundred pounds was the price paid to Messrs Hugh Low & Co. by a visitor to the show for a specimen q of th'e Odontoglossun crispum Fearn- 1 ley Sander. There were only three c flowers, which gives a trifle over $466 for a buttonbole--'-if any one is I enough of a Croesus to year such a de- t coration. This flower, which is worth I thirty times its weight in diamonds. has a thin white border. The rest of the petal is heavily barred and blotch ed with a eiiiiianmon browi, which in C the sunIi-lit assumnes the iie of hiighly b)urniished coppel)r. Tic orchids were' the wonder of a show that was a record for the Ten ple in every respect.
