Whenever we have exhibited this Orchid it has attracted a great deal of 
admiration. Does extremely well in the ground. From $2.50 up. 
Epidendrum o’brienanum. Mexico and Guatemala. This particular 
Epidendrum orchid is a hybrid with brilliant red flowers in terminal 
clusters. Within a distance of ten miles of the coast this plant revels in 
full sun; in hotter areas, filtered sunlight during the heat of the day is 
desirable. It likes reasonably light soil with plenty of leafmold with it, 
and an abundance of moisture during the warm weather. The ground 
should not be cultivated around these plants as the roots are very near 
the surface. A clump of this Orchid, from our personal knowledge and 
observation has borne flowers every day for sixteen years and has been 
known to carry as many as 100 flower spikes. There is literally no herba- 
ceous flowering plant which will give as much display of color during 
the entire season as this will. Where the temperature goes below 27°
