Due to the demand for a listing of the orchids we 
have for sale, we offer the following plants, subject to 
change without notice. We are overcrowded in many 
departments and to build more greenhouses here in 
Framingham does not seem practical, In former years, 
our normal sales took care of our increase, but we were 
short-handed in salesmen during the war and this is 
reflected in the tremendous growth or increase in the 
number of plants. There are really more than we can 
handle with our present staff. The plants are reason- 
ably true to name, and will be as reasonaoly well-packed 
as in former times. Shipments move via Express col- 
lect, and at purchasers’ risk, as usual. A packing charge 
of 5% on all plants shipped out of pots (this way you 
save the Expressage on the pots and the compost); or 
a packing charge of 10% for shipment made in pots.
