A native of wooded creek-bottoms and moist 
meadows, in the garden this trillium should have a 
location where it will receive ample moisture during 
the growing season in late winter and early spring. 
While it enjoys part shade, the coloring of the 
leaves is richer in full sun. This trillium is also very 
suitable for pot culture, where it should have a rath- 
er heavy, clayey soil rich in humus but with no com- 
mercial fertilizer. 
Delivery May through Sept. Selected large rhiz- 
oms 50c ea. 
Deer-Head Orchid 
(CYTHEREA BULBOSA ) 
One of the rarest and loveliest of our native or- 
chids, Cytherea graces mossy woodland glades with 
its nodding, rose-lavender blossoms which, with their 
erect petals and sepals and long maroon-spotted lip, 
give in profile the suggestion of the head of a buck 
deer from which comes the common name. As well 
as being beautiful in form and color, the blossoms 
have a delightful, spicy fragrance, rare among orchids. 
We ship Cytherea in a container packed in the fir 
leafmold which is its natural growing medium. For 
pot culture, simply fill the pot with this medium, 
place the bulb in the top, barely covered, and keep 
only slightly moist until the leaf begins to show, , 
then keep continually moist until after blossoming. 
Fresh, flowering size bulbs, packed in natural 
growing medium, 35c each, 3 for $1.00. Del. May 
through July.
