Seedlings of Cattleya and Allied Genera 
THERE JS A DIFFERENCE IN ORCHIDS!—and, unquestionably, our 
Florida climate with its annual twelve months of sunshine contributes materially 
to the extreme vigor of our seedlings, and, consequently, to their more than 
average size. Our stock of seedlings is better than ever this year, and these fine 
plants will really step ahead for you. 
The hybrids which we offer here represent the supreme, and are the results 
of the work of the leading hybridizers of the world. The parents used were selec- 
ted for their outstanding qualities—shape of flower, color, texture and, of course, 
time of flower which is so very important. 
It is quite a surprise to the person unfamiliar with the wide range of colors 
in orchids to discover the great strides that the orchid hybridists have made in the 
past few years. Now, connoisseurs are seeking the unusual dark colors, those of 
bronze and lavender shadings, and those having white sepals and petals and 
brilliant labellums which run the gamut from pale blush through the purples 
and vivid wine shades. 
We wish to advise the amateur grower of the great importance of selecting 
orchids which represent, generically, the traits which they desire in flowers. As 
we have pointed out so many times before—poor orchids require the same time 
to produce as good ones; therefore, it is only common sense to select orchid stock 
with extreme caution so that you can be justly proud of your plants when they 
bloom. 
If we can be of assistance to you in any way in making your selections, we 
shall be only too glad to help you.
