ply). We stir the Calcium hypo- 
chlorite into the water thorough- 
ly, then filter the solution through 
laboratory filter paper or several 
thicknesses of Kleenex tissues. 
To disinfect the seed we se- 
lect a small bottle, 2o0r3 ounce 
capacity with preferably a glass 
stopper, filling the bottle about 
16 full of the disinfecting solution 
before adding the seed. Then we 
agitate until all seed are thor- 
oughly wet. We leave the seed in 
the solution 10 to 15 minutes and 
shake vigorously every 2 or 3 
minutes. 
We then let the seed settle or 
rise to the surface and drain off 
the solution, replacing with ster- 
ile distilled water or water con- 
taining the nutrient solution and 
sugar without Agar. (Sterilize 
water in separate bottle while 
sterilizing bottles containing 
Agar.)

them over the jelly’s surface with 
a sterile medicine dropper. The 
planting operation is performed

holes. After the bottles are placed

“GROW ALONG” PLAN 
The principle of this plan is the same as a “Lay-Away Plan”, except 
that in the case of orchid plants they are making growth and increasing 
in value as you make your payments. 
Order your plants and send $1.00 or more to hold them. 
Orders up to and including $12.50 may be paid for at $1.00 per 
week. (or more if you prefer) 
Orders from $12.50 through $25.00 may be paid for at $2.00 per 
week. (or more if you prefer) 
Orders of $25.00 and up may be paid for at $5.00 per week, (or 
more if you prefer) 
Your orchid plants are marked with your name and put aside when 
we receive the initial payment. 
They will be “Growing Along” and 
when the plants are paid for, shipment will be made to you.
