HET LOO 



mossiae and Cypripedium ; while an East Indian 

 plant, the Lycopodium squamosum, is the envy 

 of all connoisseurs. 



When the azaleas are in bloom, fairyland reigns 

 in the hothouses, and again when the chrysan- 

 themum blows they are a vision of beauty and 

 delight. 



In another hothouse we find beautifu velvety 

 gloxinias of rich vivid hues, cinerarias and pink 

 primula obconica, a charming new variety, 

 daintier in shade and larger in flower than its 

 much maligned pale mauve sister. 



In midwinter, when the snow lies knee deep 

 in the woodlands, white and purple lilac, pink 

 prunus, tulips, hyacinths and daffodils, bloom as 

 harbingers of the coming spring ; all through 

 the year one bright blossom succeeds another, 

 and always there are beauty and fragrance in the 

 gardens and hothouses of Het Loo.
