CYPRIPEDIUMS 
Nothing in the entire Orchid family offers such a great number of species, varieties and hybrids as 
do the Cvpripediums. 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 Cvpripediums ; they are a constant source of in¬ 
terest to the cultivator from one end of the year to the other. The flowers when cut will outlast any¬ 
thing else we know, and nothing can compare in beauty and distinctiveness to a vase of cut Cypriped- 
iums 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 ventila¬ 
tion and lightly shaded. All the plants quoted below are nice healthy plants, with from two to four 
growths, according to kinds.
