MAKING A HOBBY OF ORCHIDS 

In our files are many nice letters informing us of the success of 
growing orchids for the first time by people whose age ranges from 
9 years to 55 years. 
We are especially gratified with the visits we have had from people 
all over the United States and they are as welcome whether they buy 
or just talk, orchids, 
Gur business grew from our Hobby and we still consider it as such 
in many ways. Somehow we feel that when we obtain a new customer 
who wants one plant to start we have made a new convert into the 
fascinating pleasure of growing the ultimate in flowers, Truly 
they are the jewels of the flower kingdom and a new seedling bloom- 
ing for the first time is as interesting to us as the final chapter 
of a good book, 
Due to the many requests we have had for a more descriptive list, 
we respectfully submit our new one hoping that it might help with 
your selection. We join with all those who offer plants to the 
amateur in recommending the species as a beginning. Although we 
offer hybrids from time to time our greatest business is with the 
more robust, and in many cases finer flowered species. 
We wish to take this opportunity of thanking all those hundreds 
of customers for their past patronage and to wish them continued 
success with their Hobby.
