W E HOPE this new catalog of Cypripediums will be of great interest to all who love these 
orchids and the number of people so doing is growing every year. Undoubtedly from the point of 
view of the commercial grower there are other orchids more profitable to grow but our observations 
are that the interest of the general public in Cypripedium flowers is steadily increasing because, of 
course, they have much to recommend them in their long lasting quality and the more subtle color 
tones and in the improved shape and color of the newer hybrids. 
Then, again, it is being increasingly demonstrated in the more favored spots in Southern Cali- 
fornia and Florida and perhaps even elsewhere, that these orchids will grow and flower out-of-doors. 
In a private garden in Santa Barbara, California, we have seen Cypripediums grown to perfection, 
producing larger and finer flowers on the same varieties than we have yet been able to do in the 
greenhouse. 
Our catalog contains some of the oldest and some of the newest hybrids in what is at least 
one of the most complete collections of these orchids in the United States.
