The out-of-doors orchid. No other orchid surpasses the keep- 
ing quality of the cymbidium. Its individual flowers last 
from six to ten weeks, blooming profusely on graceful sprays 
often three to four feet long. It sometimes carries over thirty 
flowers on one spray, though most of our finer varieties 
run from ten to twenty. Colors range from ivory white 
through a diversity of greens to deep purple-maroon. Many 
are handsomely striped. 
We have eight greenhouses devoted to Cymbidium plants 
and cut-flower production, and five acres under lath for 
growing Cymbidium plants. 
Our firm wasa leading pioneer in the breeding and impor- 
tation of Cymbidiums in California. Many outstanding stud 
plants and awarded varieties are found here. We list only a 
limited number of varieties for your selection but have hun- 
dreds of others available on request from species to the tops 
in F.C.C. and A.M. varieties for breeding. We have a large 
stock of back bulbs and divisions of our finer plants, selected 
while in flower and guaranteed true to name.
