Descriptive Catalogue of Chrysanthemums. Price List of Exotic Plants. Descriptive Catalogue of Nepenthes (Pitcher Plants) and Sarracenias. Cypripediums. This Catalogue is inscribed to lovers of the Lady-Slipper Orchid, and contains a complete list of the varieties in our collection, November Ist, 1888. It has taken several years to bring together this galaxy of rare and beautiful Cypripedes, which we are now prepared to offer upon their merits at very reasonable prices. It is our determination that the United States Nurseries shall deserve a good name, and none but true varieties in perfect vigor shall leave the establishment. The glass-range at present consists of eighteen houses, three of which will be devoted to Cypripedes, while seven acres of land are laid out in choice hardy plants. Of some Cypripediums we hold at present the exclusive stock, and of other very rare varieties, the number is limited to from two to twelve plants each; while in others, we can furnish speci- mens of various sizes and values. We believe the Cypripedium is the coming flower for general green and stove-house collections, as it is already a special favorite with the leading Orchid amateurs of Europe and America. The enthusiasm for this charming genus, which is without doubt one of the finest of the whole order of orchidaceous plants, has been gradually increasing for years, and the hybridists’ skill and energy are being exerted to the utmost to increase and improve upon existing varieties, while numerous collectors are searching the unexplored tropics for new species. The existing varieties of the various species and hybrids are already so numerous and distinct, that one never tires of their beauty. A good collection possesses a daily interest, and furnishes blooms 4 CYPRIPEDIUMS. throughout the year. When small plants are procured, they gradually grow into valuable specimens, so that they increase yearly in value, and become a good investment. ‘Their culture is simple. To be grown to perfection, they like abundance of moisture and plenty of drainage, being potted in peat fibre alone, without soil—given a temperature of 60 to 65, with ventilation and shading from direct rays of the sun. No cut flowers blend more charmingly with roses than Cypripediums. They are noble and beautiful in themselves, unique and graceful in form, rich and delicate in coloring, of great substance and durability. Their flowers last for weeks even after being cut. Those who have never grown Cypripediums are recommended to begin with a few of the leading species, which are offered at very moderate prices. After they have seen the beautiful flowers they will desire to add as many new varieties as possible, and form a collection. It is believed that the stock of Cypripediums of the United States Nurseries is the most complete and extensive known. Plants will be carefully packed, and patrons will be offered the advantage of receiving them in perfect condition, thus removing the difficulty which buyers have heretofore experienced in making importations, JAMES R.
