We offer herewith what we honestly believe are completely outstanding 
Cymbidiums. They comprise a broad selection of color, shape and blooming 
period to fit any requirement. They are, unless otherwise noted, free bloom- 
ing, of heavy texture, well set large flowers, no twisted petals or sepals, not 
hooded and are all well expanded. The colors are clean and bright. They 
all must have ‘‘character’’, and hold their flowers properly on the spikes. 
We believe our prices are extremely attractive by any comparison with 
flowers of equal quality offered by others. High grade Cymbidiums are expen- 
sive to produce. The parent plant is perhaps the best out of twenty or more 
seedlings grown for five years or more before they can be proven. Thus the cost 
of one must carry the cost of the discards. Then when a back bulb is available, 
another couple of years of space and care pass before it can be sold. The buyer, 
on the other hand, within a relatively few months receives a dividend of eight 
or more flowers worth about a dollar each at wholesale. ‘And within five years 
the plant should be producing in flowers a return of at least 100% on the 
investment. 
Invest $100.00 in Dupont and be happy with $2.50 in dividends, with 
$5.00 perhaps in prospect five years from now. 
Invest $100.00 in three of our Cymbidiums and one should get $24.00 in 
flowers on the first blooming and $100.00 of flowers in the fifth year; assuming, 
as we expect, a relatively stable market for high grade flowers. For despite 
the thousands of seedlings being grown, really high grade Cymbidiums are in 
very short supply, and we believe you can invest with confidence in plants of 
the quality we offer. 
Our quotations are for back bulb propagations with a growth of at least 
twelve inches. We reserve the right to ship larger pieces, or to hold orders 
until a growth of this size is achieved, regardless of the time interval. 
We are interested in the supplying of lovely flowers to the lover of 
Cymbidiums, and we believe you will be happy with anything that you may 
favor among our offerings. Shipments will be made F.0.B. Cambridge, 
Massachusetts.
