COVER: GLENDORA ‘VANITY’ 
TARLIGHT MAJESTIC A.M.-A.O.5S. 
It is with a great deal of pleasure that we present this catalog, (No. 28), which 
includes many of the finest hybrid Cymbidium and Cypripedium orchids in existence, 
along with a few rare and beautiful species. 
Our stock consists of the highest quality and offers one of the largest selections. 
With up-to-date and modern facilities, we continually enjoy with pride the compli- 
ments of our visitors and customers on our nursery and staff. The many repeat orders 
are further evidence of this position which we so highly prize. 
Throughout the listing, many will recognize plants of world renown; while other 
plants of equal value will be unfamiliar. This is quite understandable, for there are 
many other very fine things without this reputation. 
For the amateur, private, or commercial grower, groups of plants and propaga- 
tions will also be found, covering every choice and need—whether for inexpensive 
types for a bit of color or plant sales, to the best available stock for breeding and ex- 
hibition purpose. 
THE MOST POPULAR ORCHID 
During the past few years Cymbidium Orchids have been rapidly growing in 
popularity, not only as a corsage item much in demand by florists throughout the 
world and by garden lovers here in Southern California and elsewhere—but also by 
growers of fine flowers everywhere. These attractive plants bloom during the winter 
and early spring months when other flowers are at a minimum and their long lasting 
qualities are unexcelled. Coming in a wide range of colors including white, pink, rose, 
ivory, yellow, bronze and many shades of chartreuse and green and with their upright 
or arching spikes carrying up to twenty or even thirty or more large flowers on a stem, 
these hardy orchids are winning prizes and new friends daily. For the commercial 
flower grower the winter through spring blooming period, plus high flower production, 
wide color range and extreme long lasting characteristics makes Cymbidiums most 
attractive for either large or small scale production. 
CYMBIDIUMS ARE EASY TO GROW 
Have you ever grown Fuchsias, Tuberous Begonias, Camellias or Azaleas? . 
Then you can grow Cymbidiums. Yes, it’s true, once their simple requirements are 
understood Cymbidiums are indeed easy to grow and they require no special facilities 
or skill in their culture. A considerable number of early plantings of these beautiful 
orchids here in Southern California were under oak trees, and many of these original 
plants with no special care grew to enormous size, with individual plants often pro- 
ducing several hundred flowers each season.
