 Orchid-Flowering Class. Leaves are deep green, and of enormous size; one of the tallest growing and 

 largest flowered of Orchid- Flowering varieties, the only pure deep-red in this splendid class. Its grand 

 size, pure, deep scarlet color, and profuse blooming habit, place it at the head of Orchid-Flowering Cann as 

 It has no equal. Price, Fine Potted Plants, $1.50 eat li; 3 lor $4.00, postpaid.
