For many years we have traveled extensively in the United States, 
Central and South America, and European countries in search of 
fine orchids. Wherever we have found fine plants available, we 
have purchased them. From time to time, orchid enthusiasts visit- 
ing Rivermont have wanted to buy some of the fine plants which 
they have found in bloom here. However, we have always followed 
the policy of never selling the original of exhibition and stud 
plants. We now have divisions of some of these plants and are 
offering them for sale at prices adjusted to the present market. 
In many cases, these prices represent only a small fraction of 
the prices paid for the original. 
All of the fine plants in our collection are numbered and per- 
tinent information concerning the plant is kept on file cards. 
The description given the flower is written on these cards as 
the plant is in bloom. These records are re-checked and in many 
cases the flowering habits of these plants have been observed 
over a period of many years. 
These divisions are well established in clay pots and are of 
flowering size. The information given is an accurate portrayal 
of the flower as nearly as we are able to describe it. Connois- 
seurs and hybridists may purchase these divisions with full con- 
fidence that they are worth the prices asked for them. 
Since we have only one plant of almost all of those listed, it 
would be desirable to express a second and third choice when 
ordering. Unless otherwise requested, all plants shipped in the 
United estates will betsent in sclay pots by Air; Prices are Ff. 0; 
B. Chattanooga - No charge for packing.
