SPECIES 
Because of their well-defined blooming period, wealth 
of bloom, and their definite characteristics, Species are the 
foundation and educational part of particularly the be- 
ginner’s collection. Due to their vigorous growth, they can 
be grown successfully in the home where no greenhouse 
is available, and thrive at temperatures most comfortable 
to human beings.
