CYPRIPEDIUMS 
In addition to our large stock of Cymbidiums, we a 
specialize in Cypripediums, the beautiful Lady Slipper orchids 
which are becoming so popular fe 
as a cut flower for the highest class _ 
corsage market and by flower growers _ 
| and garden lovers who admire ce 
| usually fine things. 
Like Cymbidiums these fine o 
being unusual for Cypripedium flow- 
longer. 
The cultural requirements of a , 
pediums are very similar to those of Cymbidiums except that 
they require more shade and as they have no bulbs, they re- 
quire somewhat oftener watering, and should never be - 
lowed to become completely dry at the roots. The mottled leaf 
varieties require more heat and should have a minimum n 
temperature of 55° or above. A satisfactory potting mixt 
may be arrived at by using the formula given earlier for y 
bidiums, except that the proportion of Leaf Mould 
doubled. 
collections of prize winners and high quality proven breeding 
are exceptionally long lasting —it not : 
| ers to last 6 or 8 weeks and even

DENDROBIUMS 
Dendrobiums are another genus rapidly coming to the 2 
front in popularity, and deservedly so. The majority of this — 
large section are easy to grow, and are free flowering as well — 
as long lasting. The beautiful showy flowers are produced — 
in groups of two or three along cane-like pseudo-bulbs, or in _ 
racemes of six to fifteen and more from near the top of the _ 
growth. Some varieties produce flowers from old as well as 
new growths, and large plants have produced hundreds of 
flowers in a single season; a well grown specimen in full 2 
flower is a sight never to be forgotten.
