pubescens (Large Yellow Lady’s Slipper). 
Native. Very much like Parviflorum, 
only the flowers are larger. This should 
be planted in a rich bed in which leaf- 
mold should be a part, in some moist, 
yet well-drained, shady spot. It will 
grow stronger for several years if left 
undisturbed. Each 10 100

spectabile (Showy Lady’s Slipper). Na~ 
live. The finest and most showy of all 
our Orchids. It grows about 2 feet high, 
bearing along the stalk several rather 
large, roundish leaves, and on top one 
or two quite large rose-purple or nearly 
white flowers. It is a bog-loving plant, 
yet does exceedingly well in a moist and 
f artly shaded bed of peat or leaf-mold. 
t is also a good pot-plant for the cool 
greenhouse, or where the air is not too 
warm or dry. Nothing can be more 
charming than masses of this plant seen 
in a great cedar swamp, its natural home.
