Orchidhaven 
1950 
On these pages you will find the 1950 Orchidhaven list, covering 
Seedlings from 214 inch pots up to and including Blooming 
size plants. 
Each of the brief descriptions contains as much information 
as possible about what may be expected from these seedlings 
when they reach maturity. This information is based on our own 
experience with each particular batch. Such data is buttressed by 
the fact that we have made many repeat crosses with identical 
parents. 
Experience, of course, is vital in the production of Hybrids. 
We, at Orchidhaven, are experienced at creating varieties that 
possess distinctive characteristics. Attention to the selection of 
parents, based on our knowledge of parental qualities, is one of 
the chief reasons why Orchidhaven blooms are renowned every- 
where. Care and knowledge are watchwords at Orchidhaven. 
Our constant aim is to combine the qualities which give the 
Orchidhaven products their reputation as sturdy, healthy and 
prolific plants. These qualities are FINE GROWTH .. . PRO- 
DUCT Vilveee COLOKPs  siZb. . TEXTURE: ....and, last 
but not least, SEASONAL BLOOMING. We are proud that these 
qualities have become synonymous with the name of Orchidhaven 
in every part of the world.
