SIEBRECHT & SON, NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y. 
Cattleya Mossiae. 
One of the finest Orchids known. The flowers, which are 
quite fragrant, very large, brightly colored, and borne from :i 
to 5 on a scape, make quite a brilliant show. They vary through 
exquisite shades of lil.ae and rose, with a lip of rich purple, 
much crimped and raffled on the lilac margin. The plant is a 
native of Venezuela, and flowers from April until 
August. Our illustration shows a good specimen 
plant. $1.,'>(). 
We have a superb col- 
lection of forty or more 
species of Cattleyas. See Gen- 
eral Collection of Orchids. 
Cattleya Trianae. 
The most useful Orchid in cultivation. We grow it by thou- 
sands, and find ittlie best winter-flowering variety. The flowers 
are borne from 2 to 4 on a scape, in midwinter, at a time when 
they are most in demand, and remain perfect a long time, even 
when cut. The showy, sparkling blooms are very hirge and 
wide, varying from almost ]mrv while through 
all shades of rose, lilac and )im))le in ex- 
quisitely contrasting and varying t ints. Good 
jilants selected as to fine form and color of 
the (lowers. .$2. Forsnb-
