In presenting this, my first catalogue of 
Orchids, I wish to thank my many customers for 
their liberal patronage, and trust to have continu¬ 
ance of same, assuring them of utmost satisfaction. 
Making a specialty of Orchids, of which I 
made a special study in all its branches in the 
last twenty years, I am now in a better position to 
supply my customers with anything in the Orchid 
line. 
Amateurs intending starting to grow Orchids 
should write me for special list of such varieties 
that are best suitable for beginners. 
'fhe prices given in this catalogue are for good 
strong flowering plants. Prices and description of 
large and specimen sized plants cheerfully given on 
request. 
I always have on my register a number of 
competent men who are well versed in Orchid 
growing whom I would be glad to recommend to 
any lady or gentleman requiring their services. 
I shall be pleased to furnish advice on any 
subject pertaining to Orchids. 
I make no charge for packing, and will 
guarantee the safe arrival of all plants if sent by 
express. 
Visitors are always welcome. 
Give me a trial order. 
Respectfully yours, 
Joseph A. Manda.
