STEWART CYMBIDIUM SEEDLINGS 
NO FINER SEEDLINGS ARE AVAILABLE uywhere 
Why the high interest in well bred seedlings? 
We wish to emphasize the important place 
occupied by seedlings. The progress that has 
been made in improving the quality of all gen- 
era has been tremendous. Obviously, these for- 
ward steps have been made through well bred 
seedlings — the result of careful, intelligent 
matings of the finest stud plants to give better 
and better hybrids — hybrids bred with a def- 
inite objective — for vigor, flower production, 
finer quality, better substance, and_ specific 
new and improved colors. 
The grower who produces modern day hy- 
brids does not haphazardly cross a beautiful 
flower with another beautiful flower. He, first 
of all, must possess stud plants of proven value, 
and, secondly, he must know how to use them 
to best advantage. He must know the blood 
lines and breeding history of his plants to be 
able to make the best possible crosses with a 
reasonable certainty of desired results. He 
must be informed about the latest develop- 
ments in the science of plant breeding and the 
more improved laboratory techniques. He must 
know the chromosome counts of his plants, and 
a myriad of other data, all to be applied in- 
telligently in his breeding program. 
Such are the desirable and necessary condi- 
tions under which Stewart's seedlings are pro- 
duced. We state with full confidence that this 
catalog offers to you the most carefully and 
scientifically bred group of Cymbidium seed- 
lings that has yet been presented. Consider the 
stud plants we have used; study the different 
crosses and their expectancy, and you will un- 
derstand why our seedlings are thy most sought 
after by both the commercial grower and the 
discriminating hobbyist. 
You will do well to consider this list care- 
fully and add those of vour choice to your col- 
lection. They are a good investment. Winners 
of the future will be amongst them.

SIZES AND PRICES 
FOR CYMBIDIUM SEEDLINGS 
UNLESS INDICATED OTHERWISE 
Seedlings with leaves from 6” - 8” long are 
priced at $3.00; those with leaves 8” - 12” long, 
$4.00; 12” - 14” long, $5.00. Plants with first 
strong seedling bulb and second growth devel- 
oping are priced at $7.50. 
We have small blocks of seedlings in crosses 
other than those listed which we will be pleased 
to list on special request. 
Crosses from Alexanderi “Westonbirt,” FCC., 
RHS., Babylon “Castle Hill,” FCC., RHS., and 
Balkis “Silver Orb,” AM., AOS., are priced — 
8” - 12” leaf length — at $5.00. 
We wish to point out that it is not the nature 
of some crosses to have rank growth and long 
leaves. In fact, we have bred for compact- 
restrained growth habit in many crosses. This 
is why it is not entirely possible to sell Cym- 
bidium seedlings only on length of leaf. 
All seedlings are offered subject to the stock 
on hand. We suggest that you indicate a SEC- 
OND CHOICE in the event all plants of a 
particular cross may be sold. 
It is generally known that Cymbidium seed- 
lings may vary widely in color, in fact seedlings 
from a single pod may take in quite a wide 
section of the spectrum. We are listing the 
general color expectancy as a guide for those 
who may not be familiar with the parents used. 
This is only a generalization and the color var- 
iance may be considerably wider than in- 
dicated.
