Mystic Orchids 
Friends Well Worth Cultivating 
OF all Mother Nature's creations, the orchid 
truly makes the most persistent appeal 
to that seeking for the elusive: the mys- 
tical; that finds a place (no matter how deeply 
buried) in most of us. 
In the large variety of greenhouses which we 
have on our xmder-glass acres, we are able to 
secure the widely differing conditions so essen- 
tial to the fullest development of the different 
varieties of the orchid. We not only import ex- 
tensively, but you will be surprised to learn, also 
grow them from seeds. 
VVe are able to satisfy your desires for orchid 
friends, from a choice, well-developed stock, 
which is perhaps the most extensive in this 
country. 
The range in tlieir prices is most surprising, 
going all the way from two or three dollars to 
hundreds of dollars. 
In our Orchid Book, we list 10 well-rounded- 
out collections. Tliere are three for $25, each 
containing 12 varieties. There are three con- 
taining 17 for $35. Three of 25 for $50. One 
of 36 for $75. 
Is there then any real reason why your green- 
house should not have its quota of this flower 
of charming wonderment? 
Our entire collection is described and fully 
illustrated (a good many members of it in their 
exact colorings) in our Orchid Book. It is 
truly a guide post to orchid possessing. Send 
for it.

The Man in the Moon Urges Autumn 
Planting of Moons' Shrubbery 
because he believes that it is cheapest 
and best. 
Cheapest, becau.se its bushy nature gives more 
flowers per phuit and in Shrubbery Borders it covers 
more square feet, making fewer plants necessary. 
Best, because it has been transplanted and there 
are abundant fibrous roots capable of feeding a 
])lant right from the start. 
Moons' Shrubbery assortment is large; you 
have a range of sizes to select from; you are in- 
vited to inspect it, and to send for catalog.

Water Lilies for an Artificial Pool 
or Along a Natural Water-Course 
In the gardens at Arlington I grow many varieties 
of Water Lilies and aquatic plants. My collection in- 
cludes those that are specially adapted to planting in 
the pools and natural water-ways that are nearly al- 
ways found on large estates, parks, and cemeteries. 
I shall be glad to assist gardeners and landscape 
architects in selecting the varieties that will be suited 
to their purpose. I have the largest establishment in 
the world devoted solely to aquatics, and have propa- 
gated and introduced many of the varieties that are in 
cultivation today. Write today for a copy of my 1917 
booklet, which describes and illustrates Water Lilies 
and Water Plants for greenhouse, garden and estate.
