CYPRIPEDIUMS 
(Lady Slifafr er Orchid) 
Nothing in the entire Orchid family offers such a great number of species, varieties and hybrids as 
do the Cypripediums. The number of hybrids is becoming almost unlimited, and the variations in forms 
and colors are almost bewildering. It is difficult to imagine anything in the plant line more beautiful, 
varied and interesting than a collection of Cypripediums; they are a constant source of interest to the 
cultivator from one end of the year to the other. The flowers when cut will outlast anything else we know, 
and nothing can compare in beauty and distinctiveness to a vase of cut Cypripediums of various kinds. 
They are the easiest of all Orchids to grow, with few exceptions. 
Pot culture is preferable, and the material should consist of fibrous peat and sphagnum moss, with 
plenty of drainage. Cypripediums do not require any resting season and therefore should be kept moist 
all the year round. A temperature of 55 ° to 65° suits them well, with plenty of light and ventilation and 
lightly shaded. All the plants quoted below are nice, healthy plants, with from two to four growths, accord¬ 
ing to kinds.
