Years. White and pink varieties, unnamed.

RARE BOTANICAL ORCHIDS 
We offer unusual orchids that once belonged in the greatest private orchid collection 
in this country. These are collector's items for growers who appreciate rare and dif- 
ferent orchids. Flowers of fascinating colors, sizes and shapes are included. 
The plants are labeled as to genus, not as to species. Plants must be of our selec- 
tion, but if you state preference as to genera, we will do our best. Please indicate 
your first and second choices. We will select for you as many different kinds of orchids 
as the number of plants you order (no two alike). These are offered at very low 
prices because identifications are not complete. You may be able to identify the 
varieties as they bloom by camparing flowers with descriptions in orchid books. 
The following genera are available: (*indicates Tom-Thumb orchids.) 
Brassia *Pholidota 
*Bulbophyllum *“Physosiphon 
*Cirrhopetalum Platyclinis 
Coelogyne *Plerothallis
