Read this for a better understanding of our aims, the goals we’ve set here at WILSON’S 
ORCHIDS. 
We have been growing orchids for the past 18 years. Our collection is comprised of the 
finest imported and domestic hybrids obtainable. We have been awarded many gold and silver 
medals and cultural certificates. 
The crosses we have made and offer in this catalogue are the result of careful considera- 
tion and forethought. We have used only the finest seed and pollen parents to insure strong 
growth and productivity of the plants; color, texture, and size of the blooms; and your con- 
fidence and satisfaction in our efforts. 
In the past we purchased, from the foremost hybridists, flasks of selected crosses in order 
to increase our own stock. We are willing to sell a limited number of these fine seedlings. If 
you desire, the originator’s name will appear on pot labels of your purchases. 
We believe in slightly over potting our seedlings. We therefore clearly stipulate at each 
offering that prices are based on the cross and the size of the seedlings. 
Packing is free of charge for all plants on this list and prices are F.O.B. Morristown, New 
Jersey in U. S. dollars. Shipments are forwarded via Railway express unless otherwise specified 
in your order. 
This catalogue covers the shipping dates of this firm i.e. April 15th to November 15th, 1949. 
Although we take every precaution when packing orders, we can not guarantee safe delivery 
in colder weather. Such orders travel at your own risk. 
Please, DO NOT include payment with your order. Payment should be made upon receipt 
of Invoice. 
NON-WARRANTY: We, WILSON’S ORCHIDS, “Orchid Oaks,” give no warranty, ex- 
pressed or implied, as to the productiveness of the plants we sell, and will not be in any way 
responsible for the crop. Our liability in all instances is limited to the purchase price of these 
plants. 
Feel free to communicate with us at anytime concerning your orchid growing problems. 
Our laboratory and numerous experimental projects are conducted here to find better methods 
in growing and to solve problems in Orchid Culture. 
Whether it’s an order or a problem, may we have the pleasure of hearing from you? Visi- 
tors are always welcome.
