Odontoglossum Alexandra crispum. 
ODONTOGLOSSUMS. 
Jewel Orchids. 
The Oclontoglota excite more general admira- 
tion than any other race of Orchids. Tlieir 
long, curving, glittering sprays of rich, waxen 
flowers are beautiful beyond description. They 
are exquisite for all cut-flower purposes, and, 
whether cut or used in pots, to see them arch- 
ing over a bank of Adianlum. Farleijcnsc is to 
see one of the richest and daintiest combinations 
possible. In no other Orchids are the enthusi- 
astic collector's liigh ideals of all that is beau- 
tiful in rare exotics so fully realized. We have 
a fine collection of Odoiitoglots, and offer the 
most popular ones in our General Collection, 
which see. 
0. ALEXANDRAE CRISPUM, the variety 
illustrated, is the most splendid of all the cool- 
house Orchids, by many called the "Queen of 
Orchids." As many as 120 blossoms in 4 ra- 
cemes have been produced by a single specimen. 
More phmts of this are grown tlian of any other 
kind, and there are hardly luiy two with flowers 
alike ; indeed, tlie same plants vary a great 
deal in their flowers from year to year, this 
variation being considered one of their great 
charms. The individual flowers of the type are 
about 4 inches across, and pure white, with 
spots of rich brown near the center. They are 
borne in very long, rich sprays. The plants 
bloom from January to May, and occasionally 
through the year. $5 and upward.

CYPRIPEDIUMS. (Venus' Slippers.) 
This is an exceedingly large, fine and useful race. No genus of Orchids has so readib" 
Yielded to the influence of cultivation, and its obvious effects have been the development of 
more robust and brighter colored foliage, scapes more robust, beanng three or more flo\yers, 
and the blooms themselves have become much larger, brighter colored and more mterestmgly 
™'"''*So much admired by many and so easy in general management, the "Cyps." well repay 
all the attention that can be given them. They are perfectly safe for any amateur to piircbase, 
and the longer he grows them the greater will be his devotion. The hybridiznig of one s 
own Cypripediums is a very fascinating fad, productive of valuable and beautiful results. 
The flowers of the Cypripediums are among the most durable of all Orchids. 1 hey 
remain perfect on the plants (or three months or more, and when cut and placed in water will 
last for -> or C weeks. Our collection includes a great multitude of species and varieties, and 
is one of the largest in commerce.
