CYPRIPEDIUM: "Lady Slipper Orchid" 
A very large satisfactory family of showy, unique and 
multi-colored varieties. They are, without a doubt, the 
easiest of all orchids to grow and with very little care 
and attention will thrive wonderfully well. The flowers, 
with the exception, possibly, of Cymbidium, will outlast 
any other orchid that we know of, as a cut flower or 
on the plant. Their range of color is very large, varying 
from whites on through yellows and greens, to the most 
brilliant scarlet and deep purples. 
Their cultural requirements are very simple and we 
divide the class Cypripedium into three groups: The 
Insigne and its hybrid group; the mottled leaved or 
warmer group; and the Selenepidiums. The two former 
groups are natives of the East while the Selenepidium 
is a native of South America. The treatment of Selene¬ 
pidiums is very similar to that of the exotic Cyp. The 
Insigne group and its hybrids like a compost of 2 /z good 
osmunda and x /z strong, live sphagnum moss, with 
plenty of good crocks for drainage. They are not the 
heat lovers that the mottled leaf type are and require 
a considerable shade. When growing they demand 
plenty of water with frequent syringing of the foliage. 
A Cypripedium should never be allowed to go quite 
dry. In the fall and early winter when the flower 
buds begin to appear in the center of the growth, it is 
advisable to stop syringing and cut down on the 
water, and gradually diminish the amount until after 
the flowers are cut. More light is also required from 
fall through the winter. They do like light, but one 
must be careful as too much may burn or yellow the 
foliage. This same holds true with plants kept in a 
water logged state, therefore the importance of good
