FOREWORD 
We recently acquired two of the most famous private orchid collections in 
America and therefore we offer an extensive collection of Dendrobiums, Seleni- 
pediums and Vandas. These are among the most desirable of all the many members 
of the orchid family—possessing robust growth, ease of culture and flowers of 
exquisite beauty. ; 
The Dendrobiums' are remarkably fine and varied—many selected varieties of 
D. Nobile, hybrids and other species. The Selenipediums — tropical relatives of 
Cypripediums, robust growing and attractive plants with beautiful lady-slipper 
flowers. We recommend the Vandas' for their long-lasting qualities, varied forms, 
sweet fragrance, unusual color combinations and numerous blooms. 
This affords an unusual opportunity to acquire excellent plants from the finest 
collections at surprisingly modest prices. 
We are also pleased to call your attention to our introduction of some ex- 
ceptionally fine new foliage plants as well as the best of the old favorites that 
add so much living charm to home decoration. 
These are listed together with some new Cattleya crosses offered for the 
first time.
