Cypripedium pubescens (see page 61) 
Goodyera pubescens, continued 
clustered at the bottom, white, reticulated. Stem leaflets, about a foot high, 
bearing a short spike of white flowers. Plant in a shady place, with leaf-mold. 
It does quite well under evergreens, where there is good drainage; also in the rock- 
garden. 10 cts. each, $1.00 per doz. $5.00 per 100. 
G. Menziesii. A plant larger than Pubescens and with leaves strongly marked 
with broad, white bands; very attractive. It does quite well in a sheltered bed of 
leaf-mold, and also in a cool greenhouse, planted in leaf-mold and moss. 20 cts. 
each, $2.00 per doz. 
G. repens. Flowers white, leaves smaller and markings not so bright. A sheltered 
leaf-mold bed is the proper place to plant. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. 
G. repens, var. Smaller than Repens, and the fine, hair-like markings of the leaf 
are quite distinct. Flowers white, 3 to 4 inches high. This is a bog-loving plant 
and does quite well planted in clean sphagnum, away from the water, but where 
it is constantly kept moist. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. 
HABENARIA blephariglottis (White-Fringed Orchis). A rare and beautiful species 
found growing in sphagnum moss. 1 to 2 feet high, bearing at the top a spike 
of pure white fringed flowers. Rare. At home in the bog. 20 cts. each, $2.00 per doz.

on mountain side; flowers greenish, small, several; leaf-mold soil. 15 cts. each, 
$1.50 per doz. 
H. ciliaris (Yellow Fringed Orchis). Growth similar to H. blephariglottis, but 
flowers are yellow and very fine. Takes readily to cultivation, and thrives nicely 
in moist garden soil or bog. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. 
H. dilatata. Plant 1 foot high. Stalk leafy; flowers small, white, thickly covering 
6 to 8 inches of upper part of stalk. Found in rich, moist places in high mountains or
