Wild Flowers 
Those who have once treasured and nursed a wild flower into bloom in their 
own garden or watched the tender new frond of a fern unfold its beauty under 
their own protection seem ever after more appreciative of plants in their wild 
- haunts, and more anxious to conserve their beauty for all the world to enjoy. 
Each year as people learn to know and love our own wild flowers, we see less 
wanton destruction of our native flora, and more desire to truly conserve our 
native landscape. 
In line with this spirit of conservation we are growing as many of our native 
plants in our own nursery each year as we possibly can and each year’s exper- 
ience adds to our knowledge of the secrets of the successful propagation of new 
kinds. 
Others are gathered only from lands we know will soon pass into cultivation 
or will be destroyed by pasturing, or come from remote spots rarely or never 
visited by flower lovers. 
ORCHIDS 
All Cypripediums are sold by the bud, thus a clump with six buds is counted 
as six plants. 
SHOWY LADY SLIPPER Cyripedium Reginae 
Though mostly found in bogs often in sphagnum moss, its roots have been 
found to be distributed through a neutral layer of soil beneath. Give neutral 
soil, shade, and plenty of moisture. Large white flowers with pouch flushed rose- 
purple on leafy stems up to 30 inches. The latest to flower, in late June. 100 
for $30.00; 12 for $4.00; 3 for $1.00; Each 40c. 
WHITE LADY SLIPPER Cyripedium candidum 
Found in open meadows just above swampy areas in neutral to slightly al- 
Kaline soil. In cultivation give constant moisture, neutral or slightly limy soil, 
and light shifting shade. Our nursery stock has responded to a top-dressing of 
bone meal. Small ivory-white slippers on 12 inch leafy stems in May. 100 for 
$30.00; 12 for $4.00; 3 for $1.00; Each 40c. 
YELLOW LADY SLIPPER Cyripedium pubescens 
The easiest of the Lady Slippers to grow and always lovely. Just plant 
them among your ferns and other wild flowers where they will have moderate 
shade and not too dry a situation. A slightly acid leaf mold soil is appreciated.

12 for $3.50; 3 for 95c; Each 35c.
