CATTLEY A—Continued 
C, Schroederse. Of this su¬ 
perb Cattleya we have a 
very large stock. Owing 
to its beautiful, large, 
sweet-scented flowers, ap¬ 
pearing about Easter time, 
it is a very useful variety 
for cutting. We have for 
years spent money, time 
and labor in opening up 
an entirely new region 
where this Cattleya grows 
in luxuriance. The type 
is far superior to the old- 
time Cattleya Schroederse, 
and while the colors run, 
as a whole, light, the vari¬ 
ation in our type is con¬ 
siderable, a great number 
of plants bearing flowers 
highly colored. Some of 
the finest named varieties, 
both here and in Europe, 
have sprung from this 
type. $2.50 to $5.00 each. 
Half specimens. $10.00 
to $15.00 each. 
Large specimens. $20.00 
to $50.00 each.

C. Sehrcederae lilacina. A distinct fine Each 
form of lilac color all over.$35.00 
C. Schroederae Hercules. This is an ex¬ 
traordinary form; in fact, we believe it 
is the finest Cattleya Schroederse in cul¬ 
tivation. The flowers are unusually large, 
of French white, throat of the lip is yel¬ 
low, encircled by a broad band of white. 
The texture of the flowers is entirely dif¬ 
ferent from the type, 
inasmuch as the se¬ 
pals and petals ‘are 
thick, resembling and 
feeling to the touch 
like a piece of white 
cloth. The flowers 
last on the plant for 
weeks. Awarded first- 
class certificate by 
the Massachusetts 
Horticultural Society,
