Ye Miniatures 
Our large collection of world famous stud plants has, 
over the years, proven itself capable of producing flowers 
of the right color, size, texture and bloom season. Three 
years ago we embarked on a hybridizing program to 
produce thousands of seedlings from these plants in order 
to be able to offer orchid plants to our customers at a very reasonable price. We have now reached the 
stage where, within a short period of time, these plants will be available. 
We have been able to overcome the difficulties of community pot culture by utilizing the technique of 
transplanting our seedlings from the transplanted flask into 1/2" pots, without damage to the root systems. 
As a result, the plants immediately acclimate and establish themselves to pots without shock, and start 
to grow. 
We propose to offer these seedlings for sale just as soon as the plants have established an adequate root 
system and begun to show new leaf growth. Usually the plants will have attained a growth of approxi- 
mately 34” to 114” in leaf length. They will be called “Rivermont Miniatures” to distinguish them from 
thumb pots which we offer after the seedlings have had five to six more months of growth. The savings 
in cost WE Cail pass on tO you will enable you to acquire many more fine plants than if we held them. 
longer and charged you a higher price. 
In order to carry out this program and offer you seedlings at this lower price, it is necessary for us to 
book your order as far in advance as possible so that shipment may be made as soon as the plants are 
ready. For this reason we are presenting our listings to you earlier than the plants’ actual availability. 
As our program accelerates and more plants become available, we will keep you supplied with current 
listings of new crosses. Study your requirements, plan your purchases, and avail yourself of this NEW 
AND ECONOMICAL WAY TO EXPAND AND IMPROVE YOUR ORCHID COLLECTION!
