CYPRIPEDIUMS ARE A ROSE 
Cypripedium Rothschildianum. 
Crane Orchid. 
This is oiif of the finest of tlio C. SUniici group, called when 
first exliibited "one of the most astonishing introduetions 
ever seen." The populav name given above was probably 
taken from the remarkable shape of tho staminode, which is 
curved and formed something like a crane's head and beak. 
Tho stout flower-scape is about a foot liigh and boars three 
or more hirge flowers of peculiar colors — reddish brown on 
the curious lip, and yellow striped with black- imrplo on tho 
dorsal sejial and long, wavy petals. $10. 
Cypripedium Spicerianum. 
This is a most showy and useful Cypripedc, being extra 
free in growth and bloom, and tho brightest colored of all. 
The flowers aro glossy, large and handsome, with purple, 
white and rosy violet as tlie prevailijig colors; the upper 
sepal is pure white except at the fold, where there is a 
crimsou-purple band, and at the base, which has a green 
blotch. The plant blooms profusely from October to Decem- 
ber and, among those familiar with Orchids, does not need 
our recommendation as an especially valuable and attractive 
species. Illustrated below. Specimens If2. 50 to $o ; smaller 
plants, $1.50. 
Cypripedium Sedeni.

useful among all hybrids. The flowers ai'e rosy crimson 
and white, with a deep, bright lip, and appear in succession 
on a tall stem. The plant is in bloom more or less all the
