WE AGAIN TAKE PLEASURE in presenting a new offering of select hybrid seedlings. It is well 
known that our stock of fine stud plants is most extensive, and it includes the finest proven and 
prize winning varieties in existence. We are, of course, continually adding to this fine stud collec- 
tion both from our own originations, as well as from the finest new developments from all over the 
world. Many of these new creations are represented in this listing. 
SPECIALIZING 
We specialize in Cymbidium and Cypripedium Orchids. Along with these, we have a stock of 
top quality Vandas. Our area here and in the Hope Ranch of Santa Barbara makes our nursery 
one of the largest wholesale and retail nurseries devoted to the development and production of 
these fine orchids. 
This offering is not only outstanding in point of quality, but we believe that it represents the 
finest selection ever offered. 
A visit to the Nursery will give convincing evidence of the superb quality of our stud plants 
and of our stock. The hundreds of repeat orders and enthusiastic letters which we receive from 
our customers are not only a great source of pleasure to us, but are your assurance of quality and 
satisfaction as well. You may order by mail or make your selection at the Nursery—your order will 
receive our personal attention. All of the plants listed in this offering are sturdy plants, well rooted 
and healthy! In some instances the smaller size seedlings are grown in plant bands and will be 
shipped in the bands or bare root as the case may be. We are open every day—including Sunday. 
BREEDING 
IN OUR BREEDING PROGRAM, we keep in mind the need to develop and grow many dif- 
ferent types to meet the ever changing tastes of the public. For Cymbidiums, this necessitates the 
use of all present types, which include the finest of Diploid and Tetraploid parents. We are also 
using the one known Pentaploid parent for breeding newer and finer cymbidiums. Cypripedium 
seedling production receives the same careful thought and planning, along with the use of world 
renowned parent stock which of course is so necessary to obtain the desired results. By careful 
analysis of the many years of study and work that has gone into the breeding of flowers, a hybridist 
may gain the knowledge and understanding of what it takes to make new and successfully modern 
hybrids. Add to this, careful use of PROVEN parent stock, and you are assured of the best results.

WITH A VIEW TO THE FUTURE—We offer the following crosses, which are the result of long 
range planning and observation, with plant vigor, free flowering characteristics, as well as high 
flower quality being carefully considered. 
REMEMBER THE PRIZE WINNERS OF TOMORROW 
WILL COME FROM THE FINE SEEDLINGS OF TODAY!
