Hawaii—Land of Flowers 
The marvelous response to our first illustrated catalogue issued last year has 
prompted us to try to make this one surpass it. We are pleased to present this copy 
to you. 
We have tried to make the listings both attractive and readily understandable. 
Plants have been grouped in a manner to help you understand some of their char- 
acteristics. This is particularly true in the sections devoted to our famous strains of 
Dendrobiums and Vandas. 
Except where otherwise specified, the figures which precede price quotations 
are in terms of pot sizes. Where the term “log” is used, it means an established 
plant growing on a section of Hawaiian tree fern. 
All plants are quoted F.O.B. Honolulu: no charge is made for packing. Plants 
are shipped out of pots, either by air parcel post special delivery or by air freight as 
may be most economical depending on the size of the shipment. Air freight rates 
have been greatly reduced. We are now able to ship parcels by air freight to the 
Continental United States for a cost of from 4lc to 80c per pound depending on the 
size and volume of the shipment involved. Air parcel post to the same region is a 
straight 80c per pound. Normal transportation costs to the United States usually are 
between ten and fifteen percent of the purchase price on orders of $10.00 or more. 
Exceptions would be on orders of less than $10.00 or where the order is made up of 
the lower priced plants of large size. Do not remit cost of transportation at time of 
order. We will send by air freight transportation collect or prepay air parcel post 
and bill you for the exact cost. See the inside back cover of this catalogue for 
discounts and other instructions for ordering. 
All orders are serviced promptly. We try to ship within three days after receipt 
of an order. Many customers find it a source of much amazement to realize that an 
order placed with us is often serviced faster than one placed with a nurseryman in 
their own postal zone. We can and do deliver plants safely to any part of the world. 
We guarantee satisfaction. 
Prices quoted are cash with order. We do not ship C.O.D.
