An Orchid That We Strongly Recommend 
For Your Collection 
I T IS a Cypripedium Hybrid. So strikingly 
unique are they in their coloring; so dis- 
tinctively different from other orchids, the 
Cj'pripedium Hybrids, that if they haven’t al- 
ready their place among your orchid friends, we 
would suggest that they should be there. We 
show the Cjpripedium Leeanum Clinkaberry- 
anum abov'e. Its reproduction in black and 
white gives but the most meagre inkling of its 
wondrous colorings. There are many varieties 
of the Leeanum Hybrid, ranging in price from 
as low as $3, to as high as $50. They are listed 
in our catalog. We also wish to call your atten- 
tion to the Cattleya Hybrids which are probably 
the most popular of all orchids. They embrace 
a wide range of striking colorings. The vari- 
ous varieties of the Cattleya Hybrid — and all 
our other Orchids, are listed and described in 
our Orchid Catalog. Making your selections 
will be an easy matter with it before you. Send 
for it. The best advice of our orchid experts is 
yours for the asking.

Don’t put off the dormant spray until the spring 
rush. The weather may be bad or the ground too 
soft. Spray this fall and make sure of con- 
trolling peach leaf curl, San Jose sale, pear psylla, 
apple canker, collar rot, etc. You can save trees 
now that would die before spring. Use “Scalecide.” 
Better and cheaper than lime sulphur — cuts the 
labor cost. Never injures trees, hands, face or 
pump. Cost of spray materials will advance before 
spring. Order now and save money. Write to-
