7 PREFACE 
Read this for a better understanding of our aims, the goals 
we've set here at ORCHIDS BY WILSON. 
We have been growing orchids for 3 generations. Our collection 
is comprised of the finest imported and domestic hybrids obtainable. 
We have been awarded many gold and silver medals and cultural certi- 
ficates. 
The crosses we have made and offer in this catalogue are the 
result of careful consideration 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 confidence 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. 
This catalogue cancels all previous lists and special quotations. 
Packing is free of charge for all plants on this list and prices 
are F.0O.B. Morristown, New Jersey in U.S. dollars. Shipments are 
forwarded via Railway Express unless otherwise specified in your 
ordere
