TRILLIUM SPECIES: 
SESSILE CALIFORN ICUM. A strong plant a foot high, with 
the separate leaves 5% inches long, by 4 y 2 inches wide, and 
the petals 3% inches long. Flowers pure white. Very 
fragrant. Forms masses of many individuals. See cut 
page 12. 
RUBRUM. Narrow petals; deep maroon-purple to reddish 
purple. 
SNOW QUEEN is a pure white form of Sessile, having 
broader petals and larger flowers.. Easily the best of the 
Trilliurrs. 
OVATUM. Nearly related to the Eastern grandiflorum but 
larger. Flowers open pure white, gradually tinge pink, 
and finally become deep wine-purple. Requires leaf mold 
and shade. For the redwood regions the best to natural¬ 
ize. None of the Trilliums are finer than ovatum; the 
change in color is an added charm. 
PRICES OF ABOVE SPECIES: Fine bulbs, 7 cts. each; 70 
cts. per doz.; $5.50 per 100. Very large bulbs, 12 cts. each; 
$1.25 per doz.; $9.00 per 100. 
PETIOLATUM. A rare species offered to garden lovers for 
the first time. It differs from all the others by having 
each leaf on a stem 2 to 3 in. long. Flowers are purplish 
red. 12 cts. each; $1.25 per doz. 
RIVALE. A most dainty little sort from Southwestern Ore¬ 
gon and very rare. The delicate mauve flowers are borne 
on separate stems, and the plants at most are 6 inches 
high. 10 cts. each; $1.00 per doz. 
PURDY’S BEST. This is a new form of Sessile with very 
broad leaves and broad ovate petals. Color is creamy

WESTERN LADY'S-SLIPPERS (Cypripediums) 
In the Far West we have three true Lady’s-Slippers, and 
Calypso borealis and Epipactis gigantea so closely related 
that they are popularly taken for Lady’s-Slippers. 
Culture. The usual soil is a fairly well-drained woodland 
soil, either clayey, sandy, or gritty, with moderate admixture 
of leaf mold, always sheltered, shady and moist, for Mon- 
tanum and Fasciculatum. For Californiewm I have best re¬ 
sults with a mixture of chopped sphagnum, peat and leaf 
mold with some grit. Calypso I have done well with for the 
first time with the bulb in two inches of pure peat, over 
gritty soil. 
CALIFORNICUM is a true bog plant, found only in nature 
in wet bogs of the Northern mountains, or in the streams 
issuing from such bogs, and having a rather sandy peat 
soil. It makes strong clumps, wdth stout leafy stems 18 
inches to 2% feet high, with rather small (proportion¬ 
ately) white flowers. Strong roots (divisions). 50 cts. 
each; $5.00 per doz. Clumps, undivided, at 50 cts. each, 
plus an extra charge of 25 cts. for each eye over two. Such 
clumps have from 5 to 20 eyes. For a real show buy a 
large clump rather than a number of divisions. 
Cypripedium Spectabile 
MONTANUM is a most lovely Orchid, found in the forest 
region from Sonoma County, Calif., northerly. It is not 
unlike the Eastern pubescens in habit. The large flowers 
have white sacs and brownish sepals. Very fragrant, with 
the odor of vanilla. Extra strong plants, 50 cts. each; $5.00 
per doz. Good plants, 40 cts. each; $4.00 per doz. 
FASCICULATUM is a low-growing sort, with much the same 
habits as the preceding, but the flowers are brownish. 
Quite interesting. This variety is offered at the same 
prices as Montanum. 
PARVIFLORUM. This lovely species is found from Maine to 
the Northwest and the form I offer comes from Washing¬ 
ton. Similar in habit and foliage to C. Pubescens, with 
smaller but very bright yellow flowers. 50 cts. each; $5 
per doz. 
CALYPSO BOREALIS is an exquisite little Orchid often 
taken for a Lady’s-Slipper. It is almost always found 
either in mold and moss on rotted logs or in like soil on 
the ground in shaded woods. It does not root in the 
ground; the root is a little white bulb. It is not difficult 
to flower the first year. 20 cts. each; $2.00 per doz. 
EPIPACTIS GIGANTEA is a strong-growing Orchid which 
spreads by underground runners to form large, close 
masses. It loves a silty loam near water, and its many 
racemes of brownish Lady’s-Slippers are quite ornamen¬ 
tal. Culture is not at all difficult. 20 cts. each; $2 per doz. 
EAST AMERICAN LADY'S-SLIPPERS 
CYPRIPEDIUM Pubescens grows to less than a foot in 
height with handsome foliage and large slippers of light 
yellow. A plant of great beauty which I have been able 
to make happy in a shaded situation with moist soil rich 
in humus. 
Spectabile grows much taller and stronger than the last, with 
large pink flowers. 
Acaule has opposite leaves with a single rose colored flower 
of great beauty. Must have a soil and situation like 
Pubescens, but the soil must be acid. 
Of any of above, plant with one crown, 25 cts. each; $2.50 
per doz. Strong plants, 60 cts. each; $6.00 per doz. 
The above prices are postpaid to your door.
