Seedlings 
The purchase or orchid seedlings affords the commercial 
and experienced amateur grower a very economical means of 
keeping his orchid collection up-to-date by acquiring the 
modern hybrids that are being developed each year. In 
addition to the exciting pleasure of having new seedlings 
bloom each year, the growing of these little fellows 
affords a tremendous amount of pleasure. 
For the benefit of new orchid enthusiasts, we would like 
to explain the ages of the plants in various pot sizes and 
the average time required before the plant may be expected 
to attain flowering size. 
COMMUNITY POTS 
These plants are planted in 
colonies of ten to twelve 
plants per pot and the price 
shown is for the entire pot. 
We cannot accept an order for 
léss*than-io Plants “0 fau.cross. 
The plants are from 2 to 2% 
years old and should attain 

flowering size in about 5 
years. 
It 1s our recommendation that amateur growers who have had 
no previous experience in growing seedlings, start with 
plants in single pots, preferably in the 2’’ size or above. 
1-3/4’’ seedlings are also fairly easy to handle, but the 
mortality from community pot to 1-3/4’’ is sometimes very 
high for an inexperienced grower.
