Onxahid Growers - Exporters, Importers, Hy bridizers 
This catalog has listed those seedlings, crosses, and plants that are of extreme interest to the commercial 
man or the amateur with a large collection, but more and more we have tried to make our listings understandable 
to those thousands of new orchid enthusiasts who need a source of materials for their small hobby, carried on 
within their own homes. Thus, the last part of the catalog is devoted almost entirely to those things of interest 
to the new enthusiast. 
We as professional growers have seen a migration of orchid culture during the past decade from the conser- 
vatories of the very wealthy to the window sills of the living rooms, or even the bedrooms of anyone with a 
modern, evenly heated home, and rightly so. People everywhere are finding orchid plants as easy to grow— 
or even easier—than any of the potted plants they have been growing indoors for years. 
With this in mind, we are listing on the following pages a fine group of orchid plants suitable not only for the 
commercial men, but for the home gowers as well—those with greenhouses and many plants, or those with one or 
two plants, or perhaps no plants at all, but just a wish to acquire one or two to grow on a strategically located win- 
dow sill somewhere about the house. 
Whatever size plants you wish to order, from tiny seedlings up to mature, flowering-size plants, you will find 
McLeLitan Orcuips are top quality, reasonably priced, and in perfect growing condition. 
We feel sure you will be more than satisfied with the shipments we make to you—the packing, the shipping, 
the price, the plants. We shall enjoy any opportunity to serve you in any way.
