Holmes Hawaiian Expedition 
BRINGS YOU THESE 
AMAZING NEW ORCHIDS! 
Last summer Jack Holmes made a special 
trip to Hawaii just to bring these new, 
years-ahead Orchids back to you! He spent 
weeks in the Islands, visiting the huge 
Orchid plantations, in the jungles, checking, 
comparing, minutely examining the newest 
and the best this “Orchid Garden of Eden” 
had to offer. He chose only plants of the 
same climatic range as Florida—only proven 
sturdy varieties. His expedition brings you 
better Orchids, newer finer varieties and 
much lower prices! 
In August the plants began arriving at 
Holmes Nursery for a month of exposure to 
Florida’s worst weather! Now, proven va- 
rieties will be arriving every month through 
this fall. Come out and see new things every 
week!
