CYPREPEDIUM PARVIFLORUM—$1.50 each—Better known as the 
"Yellow Ladyslipper,'"' this lovely plant has brown petals and a yellow 
"shoe." It blooms in June. 
CYPREPEDIUM REGINAE—$1.50 each—This plant is sometimes called 
the ''Showy Ladyslipper,"’ and is well named. Its large rose colored 
blossoms are carried on 3’ stems in June. 
ORCHIS SPECABLIS—$1.00 each—This is a new plant with us, due to 
bloom for the first time in May. We are told that this plant which 
has lilac colored flowers on 7" stems is the loveliest of this very lovely 
genus. 
SISYRINCHIUMS 
All garden encyclopedias rate the Sisyrinchiums as lovely plants, but 
always state, ''seldom seen in cultivation.’ This may be true, but we 
can't see why; apparently our customers can't either, for these plants 
are extremely popular with them. Members of the Iris family, these low 
growing, sun loving, plants have typical Iris foliage and carry their 
flowers at the tips of the leaves. Evergreen for the most part, they 
bloom all summer, and will take almost anything in the way of soil. 
They are excellent in the rockery, wonderful in the border, will ‘'do" 
in almost any sunny, hard to garden corner, and are especially good 
naturalized in grass. We highly recommend them for any garden. 
S. ANGUSTIFOLIUM—$.75 each—More commonly known as ‘Blue 
‘Eyed Grass," this lovely plant is native to the Eastern part of the 
United States. 
S. BELLUM—$.50 each—This rare little beauty of the Pacific Coast is 
similar, although smaller than its Eastern cousin listed above. Its flowers 
are a lighter blue and have a yellow eye. 
S. BERMUDIANUM—$1.00 each—Although this broad leafed, blue 
flowered plant comes from Bermuda, we find it completely hardy in 
our garden. Because of its fans of broad leaves it is one of the best 
of its kind in the rockery. 
S. BRACHYPUS—$.35 each—We are not completely certain that this 
very rare plant is a specie; it may be merely a smaller variety of S. 
californicum. It is native to Vancouver Island, and has yellow star-like 
tlowers. 
S. CALIFORN!ICUM—$1.00 each—This plant is larger than the above 
specie in all respects, and grows about 10” tall.
