PARODIA MUTABILIS 
Natural Size 
The Parodias are all lovely plants with beauti- 
ful and bright blossoms, This charming variety has 
orange-yellow blossoms, often tinged with red in 
the throat. Even small plants produce several flow- 
ers in May and June, It is a very consistent 
bloomer each year and rates high with me both 
for its elegance as a dainty plant and its florifer- 
ousness. Of the easiest culture, needing only light 
loam soil, moderate to generous watering 25¢ 
and semi-shade, Flowering size, 35c¢; smaller 
PARODIA 
Elegant small plants bearing the bright- 
est of blossoms in yellow and red and 
often as large as the plant. They are

garden and enjoy a sandy loam soil, semi-shade

blooming.
