PERISTERIA ELATA 
PHAIUS GRANDIFOLIUS. Asia and Austra- 
lia. Terrestrial Orchid with leaves 
one to three feet high and flowers 
three to four inches across. Sepals 
and petals yellow brown and silvery white, lip rose-purpie bordered 
with white. Pale yellow crown, marked with purple in the throat, . 
Can be grown either in pots or in the ground. Likes plenty of 
water. Spring. Pots, $10.00. 
SOBRALIA_ORCHIDS. Central America. A 
family of Terrestrial Orchids, of easy 
culture and free flowering. The reed- 
like stems are evergreen, with plaited 
‘sheathing leaves. The flowers are 
large, the sepals often being four 
inches long and the lip even longer. 
Both in size and beauty these Orchids 
rival Cattleyas, requiring, however, 
more shade than Cattleyas. The flowers 
which recur on stems two to three feet 
and more tall, last for only three or 
four days, but new flowers keep on 
opening on the same stalk. With age a 
well-established clump will develop as 
many as twenty-five or more stalks. As 
SOBRALIA ORCHIDS these orchids have no pseudo-bulbs but 
instead are equipped with fleshy, 
spreading roots lying near the surface, they should never be al- 
lowed to become dry. They can be grown in pots or in the ground, 
with plenty of leaf mold in the compost. For a catalogue of var- 
ieties and names, refer to our separate listing. Frices on ap- 
plication.
