HARDY FERNS, FLOWERS, SHRUBS, ROSES, ETC. 21. Cypripediwm parviflorum (Small Yellow Lady's-slipper). ORCHIDS. Among the following will be found a few of our most hardy Orchids, such as may be easily grown. These all like shade at least half or two-thirds of the day, and by planting in a mixture of peat or leaf-mold, in loamy soil or a clay loam, they are easily grown. The mixture of peat or leaf-mold tends to keep them moist. After they are planted, an inch of pure leaf-mold placed over them as a mulch will be very beneficial. APLECTRUM hyemale (Puttyroot). This plant sends up from a bulbous root late in summer a pointed green leaf, 2 to 6 inches long, which lasts through the win- ter, and in spring a stalk about a foot high, bearing a raceme of rather large green- ish brown flowers. 15 cts. each, $1 per doz. CALOPOGON pulchellus. Although this plant is more generally found in swamps and peat bogs, it also frequently grows in moist, sandy soil.
