Onchidhaveua 1949 
We, at Orchidhaven, are proud to present the following listing for 
1949 covering Seedlings from Community Pot size up to and including 
Blooming size plants. We have tried in our brief descriptions to proffer 
as much information as possible about what may be expected from 
these seedlings when maturity is reached. When we have started to 
bloom any particular batch we do our best to describe truthfully as to 
just how the first seedlings of that batch have bloomed. One should 
also notice that we have made many repeat crosses with identical parents 
giving assurance of success. 
Former results have been our chief guiding influence in the making 
of these Hybrids. Extreme care has been taken as to the selection 
of parents so as to insure— FINE GROWTH — PRODUCTIVITY — 
TEXTURE — COLOR — SIZE — and another very important factor — 
SEASON OF BLOOM. 
In every way possible we have tried to make this list complete. 
However, there are some other crosses beyond this list in very limited 
quantities which may fill a certain need. Please acquaint us with your 
wants beyond our list. 
Second choice should be included in selecting varieties to replace 
any which may be sold out. 
It should be remembered that practically all of the plants we offer 
are ready for a shift during their present growing season. This is brought 
about by the fact that we do not over-pot. 
We are equipped to ship anywhere in the United States and its 
possessions, Canada, Central and South America, Cuba and the Philippine 
Islands. We are also equipped to comply with the special Hawaiian 
regulations regarding imports of Orchid Plants. We enclose copies of 
the special Import Permit Application needed for Hawaiian shipments. 
Our past experience with overseas shipments by air mail and air 
express insures satisfactory delivery to all countries. We would appre- 
ciate overseas shipments being accompanied by estimated shipping costs 
so that shipment may be prepaid to avoid delays. 
We prefer to ship plants out of pots, placing plants with compost 
intact in paper pots. This will greatly lower cost of shipping, especially 
when the distance is great. Packing is free of charge for all plants on 
this list. Prices are F.O.B. Bergenfield in U. S. Dollars. 
Visitors are always welcome at Orchidhaven. We are only ten 
miles from Times Square, New York.
