White Cypripediums 


Here we list a number of well known "white" varieties, a collection of which we have been en- 
deavoring to build up for a number of years. When well grown unquestionably these are among the 
most beautiful orchids in cultivation and while they are not pure white, they are in varying degrees 
close to the much sought-after pure white. 
We are glad to be able to offer what we believe is the most complete stock of white Cypripe- 
diums in commercial channels in the United States.
