Bolgiano’s Giant Orchid or >Bencey, 
Flowering Varieties 
We have endeavored to select the very best named varieties 
of es Peas. The following are recommended by the leading 
growers to be the finest selections, either for color, size of 
blossom or for cutting. We feel sure they will give entire 
satisfaction. 
They are a great improvement on the standard sorts, hav- 
ing large, round, open flowers of extraordinary size, measuring 
two inches and over across, with wavy standards and wide spread- 
ing wings, most of which bear four of these immense blossoms 
to the stem, which is long and strong, making them of excep- 
tional value for cutting, and are just as easy to grow as the 
standard varieties. We have omitted all small flowering and 
inferior varieties and duplicates under different names. If any- 
one familiar with a name of variety not catalogued here will 
write us for it, we can probably send precisely the same shade 
of color in an improved variety under one of the names we 
list here. 
We recommend the following methods of planting: Sow 
seeds indoors in January or February in boxes or pots. If in 
pots put 4 to 6 seeds in a 3-inch pot, grow in a cool tempera-’ 
ture. Plant outside about the middle of April. If the ground 
for same has been well prepared and enriched, they will need 
nothing but watering in dry weather; except when in blossom 
when watering of liquid manure will be very beneficial. Keep 
the flowers well cut if you desire to prolong the flowering season.
