CYPRIPEDIUM 
Acaule (Pink Lady’s-slipper; Moccasin 
Flower). This beautiful native plant is an 
excellent subject for a damp, shady situa¬ 
tion, woodland or shaded paths, and 
planted among ferns. It grows about i foot 
high and produces a large, showy, rose- 
purple bloom. The flowers appear to best 
effect when the plants are about 8 inches 
apart, and they should be planted about 
3 inches deep. Prefers a mulch of pine or 
hemlock needles until it becomes estab¬ 
lished. $1.75 per doz., $12 per 100. 
CYPRIPEDIUM, continued 
Pubescens. This is the large yellow Lady’s- 
slipper or Moccasin Flower. Its showy, 
fragrant blooms are produced at the top of 
a leafy stem. These little plants are very 
attractive planted in colonies and are 
excellent for the woodland path or among 
sheltered evergreens. $2 per doz., $15 
per 100. 
DIELYTRA {spectabilis) 
(Bleeding-Heart or Seal Flower) 
An old-fashioned favorite, with long ra¬ 
cemes of graceful heart-shaped pink flowers 
that are always attractive. It is used largely 
for forcing, but is also excellent for the garden 
border and especially valuable for planting 
in the shade. A splendid pot-plant for winter 
blooming in the greenhouse or conservatory. 
Strong clumps, 35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz., 
$25 per too. 
ERANTHIS HYEMALIS 
(Winter Aconite) 
Early in spring the golden blossoms look 
charming resting on an emerald-green 
cushion of leaves, and forming a striking 
contrast to the snowdrops, scillas, and 
chionodoxas. The foliage remains long after 
the flowers, making the plant especially 
valuable in moist situations, such as under 
trees, which the Winter Aconite enjoys, and 
where few other flowering plants will thrive. 
Plant firmly, 2 inches deep, about 15 bulbs to 
the square foot. 50 cts. per doz., $3 per too, 
$25 per 1,000. 
EREMURUS 
This noble and rare bulbous plant from 
Turkestan is one of the choicest subjects for 
the permanent hardy border. It thrives best 
in a well-drained, sheltered, sunny position, 
and prefers a deep sandy loam to which has 
been added a liberal quantity of well-rotted 
cow manure. A covering of 4 to 5 inches of 
leaves or litter will be beneficial and will save 
the young shoots, which start early, and are 
liable to be damaged by late frosts. It pro¬ 
duces a tall, majestic flower-stalk, frequently 
8 to 10 feet in height, which rises from a 
crowded tuft on narrow leaves and is crowned 
by a flower-spike 2 to 3 feet long, composed 
of closely set bell-shaped flowers which are 
quite star-like in effect. The colors are tones 
EREMURUS, continued 
of rose, yellow, and white. Due to the pyram¬ 
idal form of the flower-spikes they are ex¬ 
cellent for the rear of the hardy border where 
columnar effect is desired.

in July. A strong grower, reaching a height

land plant is particularly suitable for the

shaded corners or the rock-garden. It pro¬ 
duces in April, small, lily-like flowers, 
which vary in color through shades of 
white, pink, bright yellow, rose, and cream. 
The beauty of the flowers is greatly en¬ 
hanced by the richly mottled leaves. They 
seem to like a light, rather moist, well- 
drained soil. The bulbs should be planted 
about 5 inches deep. $1.50 per doz., $12 
per 100.
