SPECIAL ADTRNTION TO NORTHBRNERS!: WINTER IN FLORIDA? 
Maybe you can't quite manage a Winter in Florida - for YOURSELF S$ 
But what about letting some of your ORCHID BABIES enjoy five additional /honths of 
tropical warmth before they join you? Their board bill won't cost you anythings 
Choose the seedlings in pots that you want, enclosing payment with your order. 
Your seedlings will be selected, "fenced off" with cypress dividers, and your order 
number tacked to the front divider. There they will live, grow and thrive for you, 
until Winter has passed you by (about April 15th). 
As soon as they have been selected and tagged, I will write you about them, giving 
you your ORDER NUMBER. Refer to it when writing me shipping instructions, or when 
visiting us this Winter so you can say “hello” to your Babies. 
WHICH SEEDLINGS ARE AVAILABLE UNDER THIS WINTER IN FLORIDA PLAN? 
Any of the "BAREFOOT BABIES WITH SHOES ON" offered in October-November. The "DOZEN 
FOR TEN DOLLARS" will apply, provided you don't choose more than four of the $1.50 
seedlings in your dozen. 
Any LIST B seedlings on Pages 6, 7 and 8 in your folder, with the exception of numbers 
TLR, 74R, 459, 499, 721, 77R, 79R, 715, 735, 490, 498, 676 and 725. Please check 
these off your lists, as they are practically exhausted. 
**xAmong the remaining numbers, the largest of the following are now ready for 2e-inch 
pots: 672, 675, 688,697, 698, 699, 732, 737, 67R, 139, 711 and 137. 
"What good will that do me?" I can hear you asking yourself, "If they are ready to 
shift now, I don't want my seedlings sitting down in Florida in 2-inch pots!" 
THIS IS WHERE A PROMPT ORDER GETS YOU AN ADDITIONAL BREAKS 
Itve got a bad habit - bad from my standpoint; GOOD from yours - of alweys reaching 
for the largest seedlings when filling an order. 
Here is how you really benefit. Order promptly (in 10 days or less, if possible). 
Habit will make me select the largest ore sete for your order. Then, instead of 
head aa in 2=inch pots those ready for 2zeinch, L’1]l shift them - promptly - into 
their 2s=inch pots. By the time you receive them, they will bse worth twice what you 
paid, without costing you an extra cent! 
+*Please note: this repotting applies only to the numbers by the asterisk, ready now 
for 2g=inch pots. 
(If you lost or mislaid any of above lists, ask for copies.)
