296 ORCHIDS. 



L&lia albida Mariana has flesh-colored petals and 

 mauve lip. 



Lalia albida rosea (F. M., 335) is a charming plant 

 with delicate, rosy white flowers. 



This is a beautiful winter-blooming plant, valuable for 

 its color and the delightful fragrance of the blossoms. It 

 is the best of the Lcelias to grow for cut flowers. Care 

 must be taken not to keep it too hot ; it thrives best with 

 cool culture.
