ommend this Goldthread as one of the finest dwarf ground- 
covers. Pots, each 60c, three $1.60, six $3.00.

CHRYSANTHEMUM MAXIMUM MT. SHASTA 
CUNILA—Dittany, Stone Mint 
CUNILA *origanoides (mariana) — (Maryland Dittany)—When 
Summer is gone and there is little bloom left, this neat 
bushlet starts flowering. The effect is a charming, lavender 
pink haze. Recommended for late bloom and warm, sunny 
spots with ordinary to poor soil. Very hardy, 1 to 12 
feet high. 60c and 85c. 
CYPRIPEDIUM—Ladyslipper 
CYPRIPEDIUM—Hardy Orchids that thrive in moist soils, in 
either shade or half shade. The majority of them -require 
an acid, leafmold soil which is moist. Their odd-shaped 
flowers with uncommon colors and markings are produced 
from mid-Spring to early Summer. All Ladyslippers need 
the very best soil you can prepare. A light loam deeply dug 
and mixed with large quantities of organic matter (peat 
moss, leafmold, rotted wood, etc.) and some sand will give 
excellent results. The roots should not be trimmed and 
the plants should be set with their crowns barely under 
the soil and an inch or two of mulch of pure leafmold used 
as a cover. They require ample moisture while growing and 
less when dormant. Fall, Winter, and early Spring delivery 
only. Plant 6 to 8 inches apart in colonies and do not disturb.
