Flowers Like Orchids 
These are the famous deGraaff Hybrids. Bloom right after the 
Tulips and are lovely in the garden. They bloom over a long 
period, each stem producing several flowers. Few flowers equal 
them for cutting because they last so long and their exquisite 
orchid-like blooms, on 18- to 24-inch stems, have a distinctive 
grace and beauty possessed by few flowers. Plant them this fall 
4 inches deep, 8 inches apart, selecting a sunny, well-drained spot. 
In the Northern States protect with a winter mulch of straw, hay 
or lawn rakings. They multiply in the ground. You can plant 
them freely. They will give you many beautiful flowers at low 
cost.
