PREFACE 
Once again it is our privilege to publish this list of orchids for 
your approval and to furnish you with a variety of genera in a wide 
range of prices from which to choose. If you desire anything in the 
way of orchids not included in this list please write and we will 
endeavor to fulfill your requirements. 
We have been growing orchids for three generations. Our col- 
lection is comprised of the finest imported and domestic hybrids 
obtainable. We have been awarded many gold and silver medals and 
cultural certificates for our fine hybrids. 
In the past we have purchased from the foremost hybridists, 
flasks of selected crosses in order to increase our own stock. We are 
offering a few of these for sale to give the purchaser a wider variety 
from which to make a selection. 
Our own crosses plus those we have purchased are the result of 
careful consideration and forethought. We have used only the finest 
seed and pollen parents to insure strong growth and productivity of 
the plant; color, texture, and size of the blooms; and your confidence 
and satisfaction in our efforts. 
The mature plants found herein and the divisions and backbulbs 
listed are from our own collection of fine plants that we use for cut 
flower purposes. The main reason that the majority of the mature 
plants and the pieces thereof are being offered is that they flower in a 
period of over production in our cut flower department. 
Feel free to communicate with us at any time concerning your 
orchid growing problems. Our laboratory and numerous experimental 
projects are conducted here to find better methods in growing and 
to solve problems in orchid culture. 
Whether it’s an order or a problem, may we have the pleasure of 
hearing from you? Visitors are always welcome.
