sold all scrambled up (mind you, they will be from the 
above list of plants and the only thing is, no one will 
know what they are until they flower). These must, 
therefore, be priced at the lowest variety price and 
will go at $10.00 each. This is our “Pig in a Poke” 
for 1947.

tionally superb Mossiae and Gaskelliana, these flowered

resent a good investment over a three-year period, as 
you are certain to flower a superb type. Selected Small

Other orchids in small quantities, as they are propa- 
gated in excess in any one department, at $10.00 and 
up. These include the following plants and others from 
time to time and are principally for collectors. Epi- 
dendrum Vitellinum (Fiery Red), Stanhopea Wardii 
Aurea (deep yellow with brown spots or flecks), An- 
graecum Sequipedale (pale cream-green), Laelia An- 
cibarina (orange), Coelogyne Cristata (white), Cypri- 
pedium Rosetti (olive green), Zygopetalum MacKayii 
(green, brown, white and purple), Miltonia Vexillaria 
(pink), and others, which we are not ready to list as yet. 
Visitors are invited to inspect our Establishment, at 
Framingham, where a complete line of horticultural 
materials for orchid growers—Including Orchid Peat— 
is to be had. We are often able to arrange for the re- 
potting of small collections, list upon application. 
As we all know, prices are relative and you can go 
out and buy a pound of butter for 50c! But when you 
get through squeezing the water out of it, there isn’t 
so much left. So we say that even though we place a 
price of $10.00 on an item, there are some of the same 
stock not up to size around for $8.00 and there are 
some that are bigger for maybe $15.00. So if you 
want to spend $18.00 for a plant and the list says $10.00 
—why send in the $18.00—plus, of course, the 5% for 
packing. 
Whoops! I most forgot!!! We have a couple of big 
SPECIMEN PLANTS of Lavender Cattleya Percivalli- 
ana! These plants if let grow, as they are, can and have 
produced 75 flowers each in one season! Or you can 
split them up and get a lot of smaller plants. We are . 
offering these at $100.00 each.
