The enclosed list is One of Plants from the finest Private Collection 
that We know of. The Offering Consists of items possibly never before 
available to the cult. While we have not seen these all in flower we 
would judge any-of these to be worth consideration. 
It is our opinion that these crosses listed on the following sheets 
represent the progeny of the choicest and most exquisite Parents of 
each type. 
Never has there been a question of a second choice parent being 
used — only the finest parents without regard to their cost and no 
matter in what country they might be — were sought. 
The potential of the strains used is such that the progeny should 
be as far ahead of their contemporaries as their parents were to the 
show-grade plants in their generation. 
Of course it goes without saying that the breeder plants would most 
probably all have received the highest awards and certificates had they 
been exhibited ever. 
NOTE: In classifying this superb collection we have had to pro- 
ceed roughly and hurriedly. Hence we listed these on the order of their 
‘arrival and did not wait to put them alphabetically. 
Large groups were handled in broad pot ranges e.g. Cattleyas and 
their allied genera might be listed as 4” to 7” pots. All but a few of 
these will need repotting as soon as the growth is quite abundant. And 
so what we list-as a 4%” pot could perhaps just as easily be put into a 
6” and listed by others. > 
We have noted ‘on the Catts and the allied genera only the number 
of BULBS with Leaves attached—i.e. 7b or 6b or 5b no count was made 
on any bulbs which had lost their leaves. 
We noted growths by the symbol g or G and new growths by the 
symbol n or N—on the Miltonias and two new growths coming. 
We reserve the privilege of refunding on orders we are unable to 
fill because of prior committments.
