Offering Of Mature And Seedling Orchid Plants And Orchid Seed 
Everyone, when trying to sell something, seems to say ‘Mine is the best.” I will not make that claim—experienced orchid grow- 
ers will recognize in the following list dependable old reliables among hybrid Cattleyas such as Cattleya Enid and Cattleya Mag- 
gie Raphael and others. Among the seedlings they will recognize crosses made by one or more of America’s foremost hybridists. 
They will observe other varieties which, while not “beautiful name’’ varieties, produce good flowers. 
Persons who have done business with me before know that I do not misrepresent, that I ship promptly and promptly 
refund any overpayment in event a plant or variety ordered has been sold, and the purchaser has not selected an alternate. 
I do not claim to have “bargains;” I do believe that I give good value. 
Here are a few comments from persons who have done business with me:

tremely well pleased.” —Miami, Fla.

Information About Ordering 
All prices are net, f.0.b. Birmingham, Alabama. Shipment is via express collect, unless purchaser specifies otherwise. If 
shipment is via air mail, postage charges will be C. O. D. Terms are cash with order. If I can’t fill your order, your money 
will be promptly returned. 
All plants listed offered subject to prior sale. 
Unless purchaser specifies otherwise, shipment will be made in pots. If you specify shipment out of pots, you may deduct

shipped in pots) are ordered. This saves you money and saves me time.
