L. Autumnalis, L. Grandiflora and L. Superbiens, 
we have been growing in our lathhouses for years in 
straight spagnum moss. One very important factor 
in the cultivation of any orchid is to see that there 
is plenty of drainage material, such as broken crocks, 
etc., together with some charcoal in the bottom of 
the pot or basket. 
SPECIES ORCHIDS 
Quotations are for plants of blooming size but not 
necessarily in flower or bud. The GH after an orchid 
indicates that it should be grown in the greenhouse 
with some heat in the winter. LH indicates that in 
the relatively frost free areas of Southern California, 
the plant can be grown in a lathhouse without heat, 
though it goes without saying that any of them can 
be grown in a greenhouse. 
NotE: We always have a number of orchids in stock 
which we do not list in this catalogue as we are 
constantly adding to our collection. We are always 
glad to answer inquiries on the subject.
