Slipper). (,v.) A rare native species,

C. in on tan uni (C. occidentale ). (z.) 
This is one of the most delicate and 
charming Orchids, and though not 
hardy here without covering, it may 
be easily protected by a covering of 
leaves. Any good garden soil which 
suits the common C. pubescens will 
suit this species. Flowers purple 
and white. 25 cts. each, $1.50 per 
doz. e. 
C. parviflorum (Small Yellow Lady’s- 
Slipper). (a/, orr.) One of the 
best native Orchids. 6 to 15 inches 
high, with one or more bright yellow 
flowers. The brown-purple spiral 
petals contrast nicely with the yellow 
lip; fragrant. Does well in sandy 
soil, with a mixture of peat or leaf- 
mold ; likes some shade. Fine for 
permanent planting. 15 cts. each, 
$1.25 per doz. b. 
C. pubescens (Large Yellow Lady's- 
Slipper). (w, „r, or z.) Resembles 
C. parviflorum , but is larger. Does 
well in almost any soil; likes some 
shade. I would recommend this 
plant as one of the easiest to manage, and as one of the most permanent when well set. It should 
be in every collection of hardy plants. 15 cts. each, 2 for 25 cts., $1.25 per doz. b. 
C. spectabile (Showy Lady’s-Slipper). {w.) This is the grandest of all Terrestrial Orchids. The 
flowers are borne on leafy stems 2 feet or more high. The pouch is much inflated, of a deep rose- 
purple or almost white, while the sepals or petals are white. As well suited for forcing in peat as for 
out of doors, in a moist, shaded situation. Fine strong plants, that will bloom in the first year. 
20 cts. each. e. 
GOODYERA pubescens (Rattlesnake Plantain). Reticulated leaves, which are very pretty, are 
clustered at the base, from which springs a stalk a foot or 18 inches high, terminating in a close 
spike of white flowers. The flowers are pretty enough in their season, but the leaves, lasting 
fresh through the winter, are very attractive. Needs shade and peat or leaf-mold. 15 cts. each, 
$1 per doz. b. 
Ii I PARIS liliifolia (Tw'ayblade). (z.) 3 or 4 inches high, with light green leaves and a short raceme
