WHY RIVERVIEW’S SEEDLINGS ARE 
THE BEST! 
HE PRIDE and joy of the Riverview Greenhouses’ orchid range 
is its unusually fine collection of stud plants. 
The Riverview orchid range is the largest orchid growing 
establishment in the State of Ohio, but even more important is the 
fact that its collection of stud plants is rated as one of the best in 
the United States. 
By keeping this in mind, you can understand why River- 
view can and does offer you the best in orchid seedlings, as these 
healthy sturdy seedlings are the offsprings of our collection of stud 
plants. 
The stud plants were and are selected with the view of 
obtaining hybrids of perfection in form, color, texture and size 
combined with the characteristics of high productivity and strong 
growing qualities of plants. 
The regulation of the blooming dates and the history 
of the plants’ ancestors also are important determining factors in 
the mating of these stud plants. 
From the time the seed is sown and germination begins, 
these hybrid seedlings are given the care and attention that a good 
mother devotes to her babies. These tiny plants are kept in a special 
room equipped to provide at all times a warm even temperature 
and the correct humidity. They are kept clean and well-watered 
after passing the flask stage. 
Even the potting is done by workers whose long exper- 
lence with orchids and osmunda fibre rate them as experts in the 
important field of potting. The osmunda fibre used is a careful 
blend from peat collected in various sections of the country to insure 
better growing conditions of the seedlings. 
The strongest and healthiest survivors among thousands 
of seedlings are offered to you at reasonable prices and with the 
guarantee that they if given proper care will mature and produce 
blooms that will more than meet your expectations in beauty. 
Riverview, not content with just providing the best 
quality of orchids, also provides expert packers to handle these 
valuable plants for your orders. This will insure you that your 
plants will arrive in perfect condition. 
When buying seedlings, remember it’s the stud plants 
that count plus adequate care and attention. To be sure of purchas- 
ing the best in seedlings, always buy from the Riverview Green- 
houses, the home of fine stud plants and their offspring. 
We also offer orchid enthusiasts the opportunity to 
purchase backbulbs and divisions from our stud plant collection.
