Imagine orchids growing out in your garden and 
blooming the entire year around. That is what you can 
have with this marvelous plant from below the Rio

cinnabar red flowers on long stems four to seven feet 
tall. In our opinion there is no more beautiful flowering 
plant of its kind than this orchid. Plant in partial 
shade with a loose, peaty soil and once it becomes 
established it will bloom practically every day. It is 
very easy to grow and will stand a few degrees of

^ ERYTHRINAS OR CORAL TREES 
The Erythrinas or Coral Trees are among the most beau¬ 
tiful and striking trees in our gardens. They are all of 
them extremely floriferous and when in flower light up the 
whole garden with vivid masses of color. They should be 
extensively planted in localities not subject to heavy frosts. 
By planting three or four varieties, some will be in bloom 
every day in the year. Plant them in full sun, any soil 
and lots of water.
