Ch ymbidium Plants 
GAIA OGe oT 
We take much pleasure in presenting this list (#21) of Cymbidium 
Orchids, and we wish to take this opportunity to thank our numerous 
clients for their valued interest and support. We solicit their continued 
confidence and patronage, which shall have our most conscientious and 
personal attention. 
When the orchid fancier, either amateur or commercial grower, picks 
up an orchid catalog, too often his reaction is confusion, created by the 
formidable array of names and crosses. As he studies the lists his selec- 
tions are generally governed by his knowledge of the various plants and 
parents with which he may be familiar. Often worthwhile plants and 
promising seedlings are passed by because the prospective buyer is not 
familiar with them, or the seller does not provide adequate or necessary 
information. Because there are so many orchid hybrids in existence to- 
day, even the best informed person can know only a fraction of these. 
With this in mind we have attempted to give basic information about 
the particular plants presented, or the parents used in the seedlings of- 
fered. We believe this will make the catalog more interesting and useful 
to the general reader, and too, that it will assist the purchaser in his 
selections.

There are no lovelier and more fascinating Orchids than Cymbi- 
diums, and there are no finer Cymbidiums than those to be seen at our 
greenhouses. Our collection has been assembled over a period of years 
through the most careful selection and purchase of the finest Cymbidiums 
from the world’s most distinguished breeders, particularly those in Eng- 
land. Our policy is to be rigidly selective, and to place emphasis on 
quality rather than quantity. We are constantly and aggressively in the 
market for finer proven stud plants and divisions of the newer and better 
exhibition types. A great number of the internationally famous plants in 
the Cymbidium world are to be seen in our greenhouses. It is also recog- 
nized that the seedlings which we are continually bringing into flower 
receive gratifying recognition and a liberal share of awards.

To those not familiar with this genera of the orchid family it can 
be said that Cymbidiums offer a generous range of selection, and no one 
desiring them need be deterred by the consideration of cost, for, in addi- 
tion to the rare and unique forms sought by the connoisseur, there are 
beautiful and less expensive varieties in all grades, a listing of which is 
on the following pages. 
Cymbidiums are easy to grow. The rare beautiful flowers which are 
borne on graceful arching or upright spikes, have unexcelled lasting 
qualities, both on the plant or in water when cut. The flowers present a 
wide range of colors, and the lovely lips are usually a feature commanding
