Epidendrum O’Brianianum 
Epidendrum 
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 flow- 
er at all times. They grow up to 6 feet 
high with leaves up and down the stem. 
The flowers are produced in dense clus- 
ters 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. 
BEN BRASIE. A very large flowered 
form with bright scarlet and orange flow- 
ers. Great improvement on the older va- 
rieties. $3.00. 
MRS. W. J. BOYLE, JR. Medium size 
flowers of a lovely shade of purplish laven- 
der. Free bloomer and as hardy as the 
E. O’Brianianum. $1.50. 
O’BRIANIANUM. Bright red flowers on 
long stems. May be trained as a climber or 
trimmed back to make a compact bushy 
growth. $1.00. 
ORPETIANUM (Epi-Caitleya). A cross 
between Epipendrum and Cattleya. Simi- 
lar to the true Epidendrums listed above in 
its general habits, but with much larger 
flowers which are rosy purple in color. 
Recommended for cool greenhouse culture, 
or lath-house culture in California. $3.00.

Eucharis 
(Eucharis Lily) 
AMAZONICA. A. grand bulbous plant of 
the Amaryllis tribe from Brazil. It sends 
out stalks bearing several pure white flow- 
ers 4 inches across and delightfully fra- 
grant. May be brought to bloom at various 
seasons by partially drying out and start- 
ing growth again. It is not the easiest thing 
to bring to flower, but well worth the 
effort if you succeed. Use a compost con- 
taining leafmould and bonemeal. Ideal 
plant for glasshouse, except in Florida, 
where it grows to perfection outdoors. De- 
livery any time. $1.50. 
Eucomis 
Pineapple Lily 
Interesting bulbous plants from South 
Africa, producing rosettes of lovely foliage 
12 to 18 inches long and spotted purple on 
the reverse side. The flowers are produced 
on scapes 12 to 30 inches high, crowned 
with a top knot of leaves similar to that 
of a pineapple, hence the common name. 
They are greenhouse subjects, except in 
warm sections, where they will grow to 
perfection in full sun or part shade, or 
may be brought indoors for the Winter. 
Delivery December to March. 
PEDUNCULATA. Leaves dark green, 
erect, lightly spotted purple at the base. 
The stem 18 inches tall, raceme about 10 
inches, very dense, purple in color because
