CYMBIDIUM ALEXANDER], 
VARIETY WESTONBIRT, FCC. RHS. 
The most famous ol all Cymbidiums. We offer numerous plants with this 
as a parent or in the breeding. 
special attention. The color range includes white, pink, red, ivory, yellow, 
gold, bronze, and varying shades of green. The average lath house or a 
partially shaded area under trees provides a good growing location. In 
general, conditions acceptable to plants requiring an acid soil condition 
such as Camellias, Begonias, or Azaleas are suitable for Cymbidiums. 
The plants have demonstrated their ability to grow and thrive under 
widely different conditions and can stand temperatures down to freezing 
without damage. Cymbidiums are relatively pest free. In Southern Cali- 
fornia there are a number of early planting, a few as much as thirty years 
old, that have grown to enormous size and produce an abundance of 
flowers. 
We extend a cordial invitation to all orchid enthusiasts to visit our 
nursery and judge at first hand the quality and vigor of our stock. Here 
you may see all phases of the orchids growth, seed pods ripening, young 
seedlings beginning to pick up vigor, and mature plants growing the 
substantial bulbs that presage fine future flowers. A glance through our 
stud house will convince you that many of these plants are the sires of 
the blue ribbon winners of tomorrow. 
To those who grow Cattleyas and their allied hybrids, we 
wish to state that our collection of these is as large and fine as 
our Cymbidiums. We have a catalog devoted entirely to this 
genera which we will be happy to send on application.
