FALL ONCIDIUM VARICOSUM V. ROGERSII 
Variously called the “Golden Shower Orchid,” from the golden yellow cascades of 
blossoms in the large sprays, or the “Dancing Lady Orchid” because the flowers resemble 
in shape a full-skirted dancing girl. 
The gold is set off by small touches of deep, reddish-brown and flower size varies 
from one to two inches or better. 
Prices range from $4.00 to $7.50, and pot sizes from four to five inches. Although 
the Rogersii is about the most popular of the Oncidiums, we have also the following 
available for the same prices: | 
Oncidium splendidum—Large, greenish-yellow flowers 
marked with brown bars, a deep yellow throat— 
mid-Winter. 
Oncidium ampliatum—Deep red-brown markings on the 
yellow sepals with yellow petals and lip backed in 
white—Spring.

ONCIDIUM VARICOSUM V. ROGERSII 
WINTER EPIDENDRUM HYBRIDS 
Our Epidendrums show a range of color in delicate interesting shades that never 
fail to draw comment. Flowers are from % to 1 inch in diameter, and are borne in 
clusters, as pictured in the center photograph, showing a pot in full flower. In some 
sections of the United States, these plants grow outdoors with little attention, and 
everywhere, their ease of culture is one of their outstanding characteristics. They 
require only a sunny, warm spot and an occasional watering to “grow their heads off” 
for you. 
Often called the ‘‘Lapel Orchid,’ the flowers make an unique boutonniere for the 
well-dressed man, because of their convenient size and gay color. 
PHALAENOPSIS IN BLOOM 
SPRING—Free Flowering PHALAENOPSIS 
A lustrous, creamy textured flower that is coming 
to be synonymous with weddings and all the beauty 
that goes with that ceremony. Flowers are round in 
shape, as in the photograph to the left, and range in 
size from 2% inches to 4 inches. All the varieties we EPIDENDRUM PL! 
are offering are the popular whites, touched with pin 
points of color in the centers. Culture of this genus 
is a little trickier than the others, as temperature and humidity must be maintained at 
constant, higher levels, a minimum of 65°F. at night. The plants should be kept moist 
(not dripping!) always, and hence, will require watering at least twice a week. As a 
reward for this extra care, the plants generally flower twice a year, with long lasting 
sprays, so that one might say they are in bloom most of the time. The plants require 
a little less light than Cattleyas. 
$4.00 to $15.00 in 4, 5 and 6 Inch Pots 
(Phalaenopsis Summer Cloud x Benson's strain—White with orange-yellow lip. 
(Phalaenopsis Summer Cloud x (Phalaenopsis Conde x Stuartiana))—White, with just a 
touch of color in the lip.
