THE HARDY ORCHIDS 
That it is quite possible to grow them from seed be- 
comes evident when we consider that it is so they spread 
naturally in the wild. It is not particularly easy though, 
chiefly because of the exceeding fineness and peculiar na- 
ture of the seeds. Cultural folder sent with each lot con- 
tains directions for sowing. Please note that definitely we 
do not replace Orchid seeds that fail to grow. They are 
too difficult for this; too much depends on the way you 
handle them. We send out only seeds that we believe are 
capable of germinating if given right care. 
HARDY TERRESTRIAL ORCHIDS—It may not be realized 
that many Orchids are fully winter-hardy, and may be 
grown outside in the North. They are the most delightful 
of wild flowers. We have seeds available of the following, 
at uniform price of 25¢ the packet, size of packet varying 
according to rarity. Cypripediums acaule, arietinum, mon- 
tanum, Calceolus (pubescens), Reginae (spectabile) ; Coral- 
lorrhizas maculata, odontorhiza, striata; Epipactis latifolia, 
pubescens; Habenarias tridentata, psycodes ; Pogonias ophio- 
glossoides, verticillata; Orchis Hookeri; Calopogon pulchel- 
lus. OFFER 133A52—One pkt. each of six Hardy Orchids, 
under name, good ones, but strictly our choice of kinds, for

SALMAGUNDI doesn’t always mean pickles. Dic- 
tionary gives one meaning of it as “‘a medley,” and 
that surely describes this particular Salmagundi. It 
is a mixture of a little, sometimes more, of about 
everything we list; annuals, rockery perennials, bor- 
der perennials, bulb seeds, wild flowers, house plants, 
succulents, Cacti, Irises, Lilies, Roses, even tree, vine 
and shrub seeds. You are likely to find almost any- 
thing in it, and probably will. The seeds are year 
old, mostly. They won’t all grow, but a whole lot 
of them will; and if you can’t get enough out of a 
sowing, considering low price, and the rarity of many 
of the kinds, to make it worth your while, we are 
afraid there is not much hope for you as a gardener. 
No guarantee, though. Salmagundi is the answer to 
where old seeds go. Not less than % oz. sold. 4 
oz. 20¢; % oz. 35c; 1 oz. 60c; 4 Ib. $2.00; 1 lb. $7.00.
