GENERAL CATALOGUE FOR 1949 
Cattleya, Cymbidium, Cypripedium, Dendrobium and Phalaenopsis are offered in this catalogue in both 
seedling and mature plant sizes. Our shipping season is from April 15th to November Ist, 1949. Prices of 
all plants are based upon a combination of both plant size and hybrid quality. Hybrid names follow those 
in the 1947 edition of Sonders list where possible. For plants which have bloomed since 1946, the names 
are those published, with descriptions, in various 1948 issues of the American Orchid Society Bulletin. 
We especially invite your attention to the Cattleya hybrids made with our justly famous LC. Red Oak 
as one parent. We believe all of these crosses will be of exceptionally fine quality and will seriously merit 
your consideration if you are building up a collection of outstanding Cattleyas. 
Plants will be shipped by Railway Express on the mainland and by Air Express overseas unless other- 
wise specified. We qualify for shipments to Hawaii and need only your permit number to complete the ship- 
ment. Terms: cash with order; $10.00 minimum; packing free of charge; shipping costs are in addition.
