C. humile (C. acaule , Stemless Lady-slipper— x). This is another handsome 
native, producing beautiful rose flowers 2 inches in length. Stems 6 to 8

C. montanum ( C. occidentale — z). This isoneof the most delicate and charm¬ 
ing 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 com¬ 
mon C. pnbescens will suit this species. Flowers purple and white. June . . 25 1 50 
C. parviflorum (Small Yellow Lady’s-slipper— w, x, or z). One of the best 
native Orchids. Six 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. May and June.15 1 25 
C. pubescens (Large Yellow Lady’s-slipper— w, x, or z). Resembles C. parvi¬ 
florum, 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. May and June.15 1 25 
C. spectabile (Showy Lady’s-slipper— w). This is the grandest of all Ter¬ 
restrial 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. Plants will bloom the first year. June . 20
