FOREWORD 
In presenting this catalogue of Orchid plants it 
has been our endeavor to get together as many 
varieties of species and hybrids as would be of in¬ 
terest to the orchid lover. All of the inclosed list 
are plants that are growing under our range of 
twelve greenhouses. 
For the past fifty years members of our firm have 
been engaged in the growing of Orchids in this 
country, supplying Orchid plants to some of the 
most notable private collections. The quality of our 
Orchids has been prov'en by the many medal awards 
of the highest order in competition at all of the 
leading Orchid exhibitions during this period. 
Our hybrids are raised from the very finest ex¬ 
isting varieties. At the time this catalogue goes 
to press many of our hybrid Orchid seedlings have 
not flowered, and are not listed. We also have 
large specimen plants of unusual size and vigor for 
exhibition purposes. We solicit your inquiries for 
these new introductions and specimen plants. 
Our supply of some of the varieties that we have 
listed is limited, and therefore these varieties are 
subject to being unsold at the time of ordering. 
Many of the varieties are very rare and we reserve 
the right in such instances where Varieties have be¬ 
come exceptionally difficult to obtain, to quote the 
most reasonable prices possible. 
All of the plants listed in this catalogue are of 
flowering size unless otherwise specified. They are 
guaranteed clean and healthy, free from all pests, 
and true to name. 
Our representative will be pleased to call upon 
anyone who may be desirous of forming an orchid 
collection, or anyone who may wish information 
and advise as to their cultivation. 
We extend a cordial invitation to visit our 
Nursery, as we have at all times a display of Orchid 
plants in flower.
