ORCHID SPECIES 
Because of their unusual beauty and lasting qualities, many so-called "botanical" 
or species orchids have proved themselves admirable as cut flowers, Their unique 
appearance appeals to discriminating people, The large, single-flowered kinds suth 
as Qlontoglossum grande, lycaste skinneri, Lycaste aromatica and Barkeria spectabilis 
make up into striking corsages while the spray orchids such as the G@icidiums provide 
interesting corsage backgrounds or dainty hair decorations, These species also serve 
well and long as decorations in the home since many blooms last for months on the 
plant when brought into the house, 
We are pleased to offer the following well-established and growing plants in 
4, 5, 6&8, 10 and 12 inch pots at $5, $6, $10, $15 and $20 respectively, The price 
in general refers to the size and vigor of the plant, We also have smaller plants in 
3 inch pots at $3 where so stated, 
sete 
All terms cash with order, sales tax extra, Plants sent out of pots railway 
express collect unless otherwise ordered, We invite your inspection and endeavor to
