LADY’S SLIPPERS 
(Western 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 well-drained woodland soil, clayey, 
sandy, or gritty, with moderate admixture of leaf mold always 
sheltered, shady and moist, for Montanum and Fasciculatum. For 
Californicum best results are had with a mixture of chopped 
sphagnum, peat and leaf mold with some grit. 
► MONTANUM is a most lovely Orchid, found in the forest region of 
California. It is not unlike the Eastern Pubescens in habit.

TRILLIUMS 
Triliiums are very attractive plants of the Lily family. The forms 
known as Wood Lilies or Wake-Robins are well known and are 
fine wood-land plants. In the form of sessile, we have an alto¬ 
gether different tribe and a much better one from the stand¬ 
point of easy culture and ability to hold their own for years in the 
garden with no care. 
Triliiums are among the earliest spring flowers. 
SOILS PREFERRED AND CHARACTERISTICS 
A better plant for the shaded corner, damp woodland, border of 
streams where the soil is moist, or for the shaded parts of the 
garden does not grow. It takes a year for them to take hold, but 
they will then improve for years. There is no better bulbous plant 
to naturalize to perfection in gravel, loam, sandy, and heavy clay, 
and with no care whatever, and with our dry California summer. 
TRILLIUM RUBRUM. Narrow petals; deep maroon-purple to reddish 
purple. 
TRILLIUM SNOW QUEEN is a purple white form of Sessile, having 
broader petals and larger flowers. Easily the best of the 
Triliiums. 
TRILLIUM OVATUM. Related to the Eastern grandiflorum, larger. 
Flowers open pure white, gradually tinge pink, and finally be¬ 
come deep wine-purple. Requires leaf mold and shade. For the 
redwood regions the best to naturalize. None of the Triliiums are 
finer than ovatum; the change in color is an added charm.
