Epidendrum O’Brianianum 
We feel that these will become a valuable 
contribution to the gardens of subtropical 
America. CONTRAST is descriptive of the 
coloring of its well rounded flowers with 
standards and falls of pure cream heavily 
and boldly marked deep brownish orange 
in the center of the falls and the style 
branches making a triangle of dark purple 
in the center of the flower. 4 feet. $1.00. 
IRIDOIDES JOHNSONII. A robust grow- 
ing plant which soon forms large clumps. 
The flowers are 4 inches across, purest 
white with lavender and orange markings. 
It blooms once every seven to ten days 
throughout the year. 50c. 
IRIDIOIDES VARIETY. Introduced 
from Kenya Colony, this variety is iden- 
tical with the above in flower and growing 
habit, but the foliage is shorter, broader 
and darker green. 50c. 
LEMON DROPS (Giridlian, 1940). The 
coloring of the flower is distinct from 
that of contrast. The flower is large and 
well proportioned, creamy white in color 
of the petals with large marking of lemon 
yellow on the center of the falls. Very 
lovely and refined. 4 feet. $1.00. 
OAKHURST HYBRIDS (Giridlian, 1937). 
These beautiful Dietes are the result of 
crossing two rare South African species, 
and are a distinct improvement over the 
existing species and varieties. The flowers 
are over 21% inches across, well rounded in 
19 
shape resembling a miniature Japanese 
Iris. The color is a pleasing shade of ivory 
with waxy substance and smooth eggshell 
texture. There is a bright orange or yel- 
low mark in the haft of the falls and the 
top of the style branches are colored violet, 
making a very attractive color combina- 
tion. The color of the markings vary on 
different plants. 50c. 
ORANGE DROPS (Giridlian, 1942). Same 
as Lemon Drops, but with bright orange 
markings instead of lemon. $2.00. 
Epipendrum 
An easy growing race of orchids well 
suited for outdoor growing in California 
and the South. Planted in full sun in ordi- 
nary garden soil and given ordinary atten- 
tion they soon form huge clumps and 
flower at all times. They grow up to 6 
feet high with leaves up and down the 
stem. The flowers are produced in dense 
clusters and are useful for cutting and cor- 
sages. They make fine house plants in the 
colder sections. Rooted cuttings at half 
price. Delivery throughout the year.
