Cypripedium 
Native Orchids or Lady-slippers 
These hardy plants require acid soil and partial shade. The delicate blooms 
have a large, pouched petal or “lip,” forming the “slipper,” with curiously curled 
standards or waved perianth of petals and sepals behind it, usually of contrasting 
colors. 
Acaule. Broad leaves, with a single stem between them, bearing a large pink 
flower. Strong acid soil, a somewhat dry situation, and plenty of shade. One 
of the loveliest. 3 to 4 crowns. $4 per doz. 
Pubescens (Yellow Lady-slipper). Erect, leafy stems bearing several yellow- 
pouched flowers of great charm, daintily spotted with brown. Acid soil, moist 
ground, and shade. 3 to 4 crowns. $5 per doz. 
Spectabile (The Queen’s Orchid). Similar to Pubescens in habit, with larger 
flowers. Pouch rose-red or white, stained rose. The handsomest native Orchid. 
3 to 4 crowns. $6 per doz. 
Dielytra (Dicentra) 
Spectabilis (Bleeding-Heart). Not a bulb, but strong roots which produce lovely 
foliage and long racemes of pink, heart-shaped flowers in May. Especially 
valuable for shady places and for forcing. $6 per doz.; $40 per 100. 
Eremurus 
Extremely rare plants of liliaceous habit, throwing up lofty stems bearing 
tremendous spikes of lily-like flowers. The fleshy, spider-like roots should be 
E lanted in a sheltered place, because the new growth is susceptible to damage by 
ite spring frost and ought to be left undisturbed, as they improve with age.
