ale. Twin Brook CoMPANny was started in 1989 ag a hobby. 
We believe that Cymbidiums are the most rewarding of orchids and get 
the greatest pleasure through the production of magnificent flowers. 
Over the fifteen years this Corporation has been in business, we have 
bought many hundreds of plants and seedlings, and have discarded most of 
them. Seedlings are an expensive gamble; the opinions of others are gamble 
enough. 
Mr. William Mansell of the famous English firm of Mansell and Hatcher, 
acted as our agent from 1941 to 1944, buying what he thought were the top 
crosses in England. His judgment was outstanding, but in many cases, even 
he was wrong. He bought us about 100 Chiron crosses. Herewith we offer only 
four as being really good. 
Mr. Me Bean shipped us Pearl crosses, over 100 of them. Herewith, we 
offer one. 
We have culled our stock again and again, and resolved that we will not 
enlarge our glass area, but will discard everything we can that does not come 
up to our standard of perfection. 
Our latest price list, offered herewith, is unusual in the fact that instead 
of being bigger and better, it is smaller and better. For one reason or another 
we have been able to eliminate a few crosses which rightly or wrongly we 
decided were not up to our standard, so that if you like the sort of flowers we 
do, you can pick for mentioned characters and give no thought to the question 
of quality. We believe also that everything offered has character, or “‘class’”’ 
if you like the word. A wishy washy bloom is poor no matter what its other 
virtues may be. 
You may not agree with our ideas of a perfect Cymbidium, but we at 
least, are not trying to sell you something we consider inferior. We gladly 
junk that stuff to give us room. 
After fifteen years of Cymbidiums, our judgment must have reached a 
certain state of perfection. Many award winners, we do not think worthy, 
many of our own unawarded plants, we think magnificent.
