MATURE CATTLEYA HYBRID PLANTS OF COMMERCIAL VARIETIES 
There are times in the year when we have a surplus of flowers for our 
cut flower needs. When this happens we mark up for sale a certain 
amount of adult plants. A card is made'on each plant and an exact 
description of the flower is written into our records by the trained 
people who grade and cut the flowers. The plant is priced on the basis 
of its siae and the relative value of the flowers it produced. 
We have been employing this method of selling plants for several years 
and are selling some very good plants in fhe following price ranges: 
Lavender $ 5.00 to $20.00 
White with purple lip 15.00 to 30.00 
White 15.00 to 30.00 
Yellows 15.00 to 30.00 
There are a very few exceptional plants that might be valued at a 
slightly higher price, but most of them fall within these ranges. 
Since we have only one plant of each of many different crosses it 
would be impractical to list them here. However, we prepare 
mimeographed lists of these plants from time to time and send them to 
our customers. Should you be interested in buying some strong well 
established mature plants, write for our current offerings and they 
will be mailed to you at once.
