Advance List Of CATTLEYA GENERA SEED 
These seeds are offered for delivery as soon as mature and are 
due to ripen over the peroid from September I 1947 to July 30th.1948, 
We make these crosses primarily for our own use but because of our 
limited space we can not grow all of tke seed of each cross, 
Experience has proven that our customers obtain much better 
germination and vitality from seeds sent out at maturity,than they do 
from seeds kept for weeks or iiounths before they are planted, 
Again last year we had to disapoint some folks who ordered late 
after all of our surplus sced of cortain varicties were sold,To avoid 
this get your order in early, We will refund your money in case any 
cross fails to make fertile secd, 
We can accept no advance orders without payment in full as we 
can not afford to spend the necessary time to bill vou for each Pkt, 
as it is delivered and still sell them at these prices, 
All seed is sent by Air-Mail except to local customers,If you 
desire to have it sent by insured iiail or special delivery,be sure to 
include the extra Post-Office Charges for euch package,
