FRESHLY IMPORTED ORCHIDS 
IJnestablished Unpotted Plants 
We receive fresh importations of Orchids 
direct from the forests of Mexico, Central and 
South America and the East Indies, usually 
in the spring and fall. We have a number of 
customers who are interested in purchasing 
these unestablished plants as they arrive 
from the woods and they are sent out just as 
received. To those interested in freshly im¬ 
ported plants, we will be glad to send listings 
upon receipt of shipments, together with sizes, 
prices and descriptions. 
Cur importations consist, for the most part, 
of Cattleya species from Colombia, Venezuela 
and Oncidiums in variety from Brazil. They 
are priced, for the most part, below the price 
of Established potted plants and are, of course, 
very valuable to the grower of Commercial 
cut-flower stock. A few unestablished im¬ 
ported plants make a very interesting addition 
to a collection.

Completion of operation. Being satisfied the plant is 
well potted and perfectly firm, you may take a pair of 
scissors and trim the compost smooth. It is also advis¬ 
able to drive a heavy wire stake along the side of the 
rhyzome into the peat in the middle of the pot. (See Cut 
Numbers 1 and 8) and tie the bulbs a little below the 
leaves to the stake. Many people keep a label record 
of their plants with respect to flowering season and time 
of potting together with the name and cross if a hybrid. 
Cut Number 8 also shows the three bulb propagated 
piece taken off (Cut Number 4) and potted. 
While the foregoing process sounds complicated it 
really is not, and we will be glad at any time to dem¬ 
onstrate potting, or answer further questions.

Repotting. We have had so many requests from Ama¬ 
teur growers and beginners who do not have the time 
to devote to the re-potting of their Orchids that we have 
arranged a "Potting service" to aid them. Our men are 
competent to handle all phases of this work. The charges
