Hardy Orchid^. 
THE beauty of our North American species of Orchids is not fully appreciated. A number of them are quite 
as handsome as the majority of species cultivated in greenhouses, and the flowers are produced as freely. The 
following list contains the best and showiest kinds of the natives, including only the varieties which are 
woi'th growing for their intrinsic beauty and worth We can supply many other species to those who wish larger or 
different collections for any purpose ; there are a great number of varieties mainly interesting to the botanist or col- 
lector, but not possessing any special beauty or merit to bring them into general esteem and cultivation. For most 
hardy Orchids a shady jjosition and a moist soil, containing some leaf-mold or peat, are to be preferred ; they will 
do nicely in a shady border where many other plants would fail to grow. 
OYPRIPEDIUM. Lady's Slipper. The best genus 
among our hardy Orchids. The species are all easy to 
grow, bright-flowered and pretty, and so distinct in 
shape and color that any child can distinguish them.
