PRICE LIST 
of 
CATTLEYA HYBRIDS 
(and Allied Genera) 
SPECIAL LISTING #29 
Spring 1955 
In making such a list as this we can show only a fraction of our stock. 
Those who visit the nursery can choose from numerous varieties net list- 
ed as well as from those in the catalog. All plants sold are in viger- 
cous health and are bred from the finest parents for vigor, color, size, 
texture, and season of bloom. We have exercised the greatest care in 
the selection and breeding of our plants and our purpose is always for 
the production of top quality stock. 
We are fully conscious of the constant improvement made by leading 
hybridists in the important types of commercial orchids. Our efforts 
are to maintain the front rank position of our nursery for top quality 
plants and our crosses leok well into the future, since we realize that 
the period ahead will demand standards higher than those of the present 
Gay. It will be noted that our orchids capture top honors wherever 
shown. 
When the erchid fancier, either amateur or commercial grower, picks up 
an orchid catalog, too often his reaction is confusion, created by the 
formidable array of names and crosses. As he studies the lists his 
selections are generally governed by his knowledge of the various plants 
and parents with which he may be familiar. Often worthwhile plants and 
promising seedlings are passed by because the prospective buyer is net 
familiar with them, or the seller does not provide adequate or neces- 
sary information. Because there are se many erchid hybrids in existence 
teday, even the best informed person can know only a fraction ef these. 
With this in mind we have attempted te give basic information abeut the 
particular plants presented, er the parents used in the seedlings effer- 
ed. We believe this will make the catalog more interesting and useful 
to the general reader, and too, that it will assist the purchaser in 
his selections. 
The fancier will find a complete range of colors, varieties, and seasons 
ef bloom. Many of the crosses are bred along proven lines se as to 
minimize the amount of speculation; with ethers,though we sre sure there 
will be many unusual things, we can only generalize as to season and 
color range. 
We are pleased to have those interested in orchids and their culture 
visit our nursery. Our staff will assist orchid enthusiasts in their 
problems. Correspondence is invited. 
We have separate catalogs on Cymbidiums and Cypripediums. Our coellec- 
tion ef these genera is one of the finest in the country and we effer 
many promising seedlings bred from exhibition type parents. We would 
be happy te mail you these catalogs on request.
