This list is designed for those who like tropical plants and want 
nice specimens of rare plants, for the house in winter and eut doors 
in summer. This enterprise is operated by people long familiar with 
tropical plants especially those from South Florida. 
It is hard to publish a permanent list of native orchids and other 
rare plants because at certain times only some species may be 
gathered and at other seasons other species may be taken. The plants

We list here those plants which may be had. The price indicates the 
rarity of the subject or the difficulty of obtaining it. All prices 
indicate bare root unless otherwise stated. Orchids and Bromeliads 
do much better if taken on wood. There are many other species not 
Se EE eee een 
notifies. If interested let us know. 
Orchids and many other plants from the "Big Cypress" region of the 
"Deep Everglades" usually have a gray or whitish growth on them, 
which is merely tropical lichens and absolutely harmless. Examine 
under a magnifying glass and you will see beautiful plants, of the 
lower order, living togethcr. 
We quote special prices to schools, museums, herbariums and dealers. 
If you want special plants, name and describe them and we'il try to 
fill the order. No order for less than $1.00 will be accepted. All 
orders postpaid cast of Mississippi River unless otherwise stated. 
Add 10% west of Mississippi. Packing is guaranteed. All native 
plants are of blooming size and taken by permit from private lands, 
None are taken from tne Everglades National Park area.
