NO. 123—This plant should be in cultivation, so we are breaking our usual rule of 
not listing anything of which the name is uncertain. No. 123 has unusually broad and 
long stems and wide opening, broad petaled, pink flowers but its most important 
attribute is the fact that it blooms quite freely out of season, particularly in the fall 
and winter. Rooted=cutting.=.. 3. $ .50 
OBERTST P. MAN KUHNRICH (Knebel) std.—Carries flowers of a very unusual shape, 
due to their extremely narrow petals. Its shape may be described as spidery or again 
as star-like, if you are more romantic, but it is certainly unusual. Although the flower 
is actually 9 inches in diameter, it looks smaller because the petals are so narrow and 
there is so much open space between them. The outer petals are maroon with lighter 
central stripe. The next series of petals are bronzy salmon and the innermost petals 
eo seen ese Sao 
almost solid violet. Rooted cutting 
ORIOLE—Vigorous, tall-growing plant. Does not bloom till quite large but is worth 
waiting for. Flowers variable in size, sometimes extremely large, up to 11 or 12 inches 
across. Petals stiff, spreading wide but incurving, well placed; general effect open cup 
s-ape. Outermost cetals yellow tinged with red brown. Next series yellow. Innermost 
cream to white.

ORION std.—One of the best of the large flowering varieties. Flowers 9 inches in diame- 
ter with broad petals and wide open shape. Outer petals Chinese red; inner petals 
same color with wide violet edging. The entire flower is usually overcast with a bronzy 
metallic sheen. This bronzy sheen and somewhat lighter color distinguish it from Con- 
way’s Giant. If you like the large flowered ones, you cannot afford to miss this.

PADRE std. (Syns. Alpha, Emaline)——Stiff, thick stems of vigorous green give the plant 
an especially healthy look. Flowers medium to large. Pale pink to darker, with waxy 
petals and elegant form. Outer petals reflexed; inner petals spreading to erect. Reliable 
bloomer. It does not bloom very profusely at any one time but to make up for this has 
an unusually long spring season and occasionally blooms in fall and winter. One of the 
best and most popular pinks. See illustration on page 14.

PAULA KNEBEL (Knebel) std.—Plant with thin, straight, deeply notched stems often 
colored toward tips. Flowers are 7 inches across with very beautiful and most unusual 
coloration. Outer petals are carmine in center, magenta on edges, but not very con- 
spicuous. The inner petals, which really make the flower, are striped, with orchid in 
the center and white on both edges. This is sure to be a leading variety in the future 
though at present very little is available.

PAUL DE LONGPRE std. (Syn. Yellow Stripe)—For some reason yellow has been for 
years the most sought after color in epiphyllums—probably because a real yellow has 
yet to be produced. Paul de Longpre is the nearest approach which has got into culti- 
vation. Flowers are 9 inches in diameter. Outer petals are amber maroon, next series 
all amber and inner petals almost all tipped amber which may extend well down the
