MAKING A HOBBY OF ORCHIDS 
We are especially Peeerrien with the visits we have had from people all over the 
United States and they are as welcome whether they buy or just talk, orchids. 
Our business grew from our hobby and we still consider it as such in many ways. 
Somehow we feel that when we obtain a new customer who wants one plant to start we 
have made a new convert into the fascinating pleasure of growing the ultimate in 
flowers. Truly they are the jewels of the flower kingdom and a new seedling bloom- 
ing for the first time is as interesting to us as the final chapter of a good book. 
Due to the many requests we have had for a more descriptive list, we respectfully 
submit our new one hoping that it might help with your selection, We join with all 
chose who offer plants to the amateur in recommending the species as a beginning. 
Although we offer hybrids from time to time our greatest business is with the more 
:obust, and in many cases finer flowered species. 
We wish to take this opportunity of thanking all those hundreds of customers for 
tneir past patronage and to wish them continued success with their hobby.
