AN EASIER ORCHID 
It is BLETILLA HYACINTHINA, surely easies 
Orchids, and one of the lovelier. Fairly laren hives . 
amethystine purple, sweetly fragrant, are carried gracefully 
on 15-inch stems. Fully hardy at Philadelphia without any 
special protective care. In very cold areas, though, mulch 
with straw or leaves before winter sets in. Clumps will in- 
crease in size from year to year. This fine Orchid may also 
be grown in pots for winter bloom, forcing with ease and 
beauty under the window conditions that are right for, say 
Freesia, and it is ag decorative ag many of the tender con- 
servatory Orchids. (Illustrated front cover this folder.)
