Orxohid Growers - Exporters, Importers, Hybridizers 
To a greater degree this year than any time previously, we have designed our catalog to meet the special needs of 
the new grower, because we feel, at the present time, there are more new growers in the field with their desire for 
special information and listings than there are confirmed orchid “bugs”. The beginner will find a wealth of cultural 
information available in the pages immediately following, as well as plant listings especially selected for him. 
However, the advanced needs of the commercial growers and the confirmed amateur growers have not been neg- 
lected. To our past customers, our seedlings need no introduction, and these are listed in quantity, from “thumb pots” 
through four inch pots. For those who wish to add a little variety to their collections, we are listing this year a num- 
ber of types other than the Cattleyas for the first time, including the Phalaenopsis, currently so difficult to obtain. 
Of course, our usual wide selection of flowering size Cattleyas is again available, the same fine quality plants so 
reasonably priced which we offer year after year, to the satisfaction of all groups of customers, commercial, amateur, 
and beginner alike. 
However large or small your order, we shall be glad to give it our closest attention. We feel sure you will be quite 
satisfied with the plants, the prices and the service. 
GRACIOUS LIVING WITH ORCHIDS 
We sincerely appreciate the kindness of Mr. and Mrs. George Johnson, and Miss Phyllis 
Johnson in permitting us to use the photograph below, as well as the cover photograph 
of their new home at 38 Dudley Court, Piedmont, California. Mr. Johnson was President 
of the California Orchid Society in 1950.
