PROPAGATIONS 
from our fine exhibition type varieties 
Many of the varieties listed on the following pages are familiar to 
the Cymbidium fancier for they are the plants upon which we have 
built the reputation of our famous collection of prize winning Cym- 
bidiums. Some varieties listed have proven superior, year after year, in 
the face of increasing competition. Many plants are listed that have re- 
ceived either the First Class Certificate or the award of Merit from those 
most respected judges of the Orchid world, the Orchid Committee of 
the Royal Horticultural Society in England. Other varieties have received 
coveted Medals from the Cymbidium Society Inc., from the American 
Orchid Society, and the Orchid Society of Southern California. Promi- 
nent in many of these fine varieties are superior qualities, such as ex- 
ceptional vigor, high flower quality, reliability of bloom and abundance 
of bloom. Several hybrids on the list have proven that they can produce 
new hybrids equal to, or, in many cases, superior to themselves. They 
classify as desirable new stud plants for which there is an endless search. 
In as much as collectors’ likes and dislikes are seldom the same, a 
wide range of colors and types are offered. The colors run from the 
dark browns of the Pixies to the light pinks, creams and whites of the 
Alexanderi hybrids. All are superior hybrids. 
Though the varieties are priced at a per bulb basis we do not always 
have single rooted bulbs of particular plants. At the time of publication 
of this catalog we have a number of divisions available for sale of all 
varieties listed. However, we wish to emphasize, that the deserable 
varieties are always in short supply, so we urge prompt inquiry about 
particular varieties in which you may be interested. 
In conclusion, we would like to say that no matter how many varieties 
we list in the “Selected Varieties Section” they are only a part of the 
hundreds which we have in stock. We solicit inquiries about particular 
varieties which are not listed in this catalog and which we may have in 
stock. Minimum
