ORCHIDS OF THE MORE EASY 
TO GROW GROUPS 
ORCHID GROWING: There are many 
false conceptions about this family of 
plants, and this is true even among many 
retail florists, whose knowledge of these 
plants is largely confined to varieties used 
in the production of cut flowers. Many 
orchids are as easy to grow as Iris or 
glads, and even the latter have their ‘“‘dif- 
ficult types” and this is true of nearly 
all families of plants. Many orchid blooms 
last a month under favorable conditions. 
All prices are prepaid. Complete cultural 
information with orders. 
CYMBIDIUM ORCHIDS: Are now becom- 
ing increasingly popular due to their ease 
of culture, great beauty, and lasting quali- 
ty when cut. In California they are often 
grown outside like Beaded Iris. The lower 
prices quoted are for divisions with one 
large bulb, and one or more new growth 
attached, this should flower within a year 
or two. The higher prices are for plants 
that are considered to be flowering sizes. 
All prepaid. Delivery anytime. April to 
January. (The flowers of some Cymbidium 
Orchids are known to last two months, 
and are ideal for corsage work).
