E take great pleasure in presenting our 
catalogue to the trade, and to all who are interested in 
growing flowers for pleasure. 
Many people who have a small green-house, 
or a tiny lean-to, do not realize the joy that orchids can bring 
to them. They can be had at prices to fit any purse, and will 
take less room and produce more flowers with greater lasting 
qualities, than any other genus, we believe. Many varieties 
are of easy culture and can be grown with success by any 
amateur. Even a small collection can be arranged to produce 
flowers throughout the year. In England, where orchids are 
of older culture, there are over four thousand amateur 
growers with collections of twenty to one hundred plants 
and upwards, who have enjoyed marked success. 
We offer an excellent selection of Modern 
Hybrids, and a number of interesting and beautiful species. 
We have also a very large collection of well-established 
seedlings of the finest parentage, which should produce out¬ 
standing varieties. Only well-established, strong, healthy 
stock is offered. 
Prices on flowering plants or seedlings on this 
List will gladly be furnished on application. We invite your 
inspection on Saturdays and Sundays, or by appointment 
on any week-day.
