FOREWORD 
Visitors are welcome at the greenhouse at any 
time. Hours are from 8:00 A.M. until 5:00 P.M. Mon- 
day through Saturday and by appointment only on 
Sunday. The greenhouse is situated on Front Street 
in Monroe, between Jerome Street and the railroad. 
A short road leads to the right off East Front Street. 
The greenhouse may be seen from the road. 
I recommend that anyone interested in growing 
orchids visit the greenhouse if possible. Much more 
information may be gotten from such a visit than 
from reading articles in magazines. 
The booklet on culture which I publish is as 
complete as practical but there are several excellent 
books on orchid culture available at your bookstore 
or library. 
Plants are properly planted and shipped in their 
pots, unless I am requested to remove the plant from 
the pot. Normally they will not need repotting for 
six months to two years, depending on the size of the 
plant. 
I ship all year round, and recommend Railway 
Express delivery. If plants are damaged when received, 
a claim should be filed immediately with the Railway 
Express Agency. All shipments are f.o.b. Monroe.
