TO SELL ORCHID PLANTS TO OTHERS 
Let this Catalog be your guide in offering Or- 
chid plants to others. No reasonable buyer will 
expect you to have more than a few varieties 
of Orchids in your own stock, and we will give 
you prompt delivery. In the Catalog you will 
find colors and varieties to satisfy every need.
