You will enjoy some of these new quaintly shaped flowers, particularly for house decoration. They are stunning in 
clumps here and there in the border, in front of shrubs or groups of evergreens. Their artistic form and coloring 
make them especially suitable for cut-flower purposes. Fantasy is recommended for pot culture also. Forced slowly in 
not too high a temperature it develops into one of the most unusual Orchid-like flowers you have ever seen.
