BUTTERWORTH’S 
RE LASTS IP Witten 

Due to the demand for a listing of the orchids we 
have for sale, we offer the following plants, subject to 
change without novice. 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 
refiected 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 reasonably well-packed 
as in former times. Shipments move via Express col- 
lect, and at purchasers’ risk, as usual, 
All orders to be accompanied by your favor for the 
cost of the piants plus 5% packing and inspection 
charge; also directions as to whether we are to ship 
via Air or rail with the charges collect. We pack all 
plants devoid of compost after immersion in a strong 
insecticide for your added protection and to facilitate 
passage through any local quarantines. Shipments will 
move iorward in April unless you do specify an earlier 
date, and our favor in the form of a cheque for any 
unfilled balance of your order will be sent at time of 
shipment. All sales are final.
