But strange to say, none of our native lady's slippers figure in the dealers' catalogues, and very few fanciers seem to grow them. It is not easy to under- stand this neglect, but probably it is due to the small store we set on fa- miliar things. If it were necessai-y to undertake expensive and dangerous ex- peditions into the Amazonian wilds in order to obtain the showy lady's slipper (C. hirsutum), the flower would doubt- less be a prized and honored inmate of every orchid house. But as it can be procured at no more trouble than a walk of a mile or two to the nearest wooded swamp, and with no more risk than a few mosquito bites, this noble bloom is left to blush unseen in its native mossy haunts. The showy lady's slipper is certain- ly the largest and handsomest flower of the genus, but the stemless lady's slipper (C. acaule) is a good second. One day in June, in a pine wood on the banks of the Ottawa river in east- ern Ontario, I came on some plants of this species growing among the juniper bushes, bracken and sarsa- parilla that formed the sparse under- brush. There were about a dozen vigorous plants, all in bloom, scattered over an area of five or six hundred square feet. The blossoms exhibited a considerable color variation, the labellums of some being tinted and lined with the rich rose or pink char- acteristic of the species, while others were decidedly piile and almost an- aemic in appearance. Searching f^-- ther, to my delight I came on a speci- men of that rarity, a pure white C. acaule, with pale greenish-yellow petals. It was a fine., well-grown plant and the beautiful translucent blossom hung in its dark green setting. Acaule Albino. like a tiny opalescent lantern. It was the shrine to which I made numerous pilgrimag-es that summer, but it failed to attract the bee necessary for it
