Christmas 2014
This year our Christmas Catalog is only available online. Our next paper catalog will be our Spring Catalog in February, 2015.
I am excited about doing an online catalog because it allows us to offer some special Limited Edition items that are only available in very, very
limited quantities, sometimes only a few dozen of each. I am also excited about the possibilities for gifts inside. Please look at pages 8 & 9 for
Ready to Bloom Orchids, New Collections and Special offerings that will be perfect for you or for your Christmas List. Order soon, before the
rush, while supplies last!
With Thanksgiving, Chanukah, and Christmas fast approaching, we at Carter and Holmes count you among the blessings for which we are
most thankful. Your orders allow us to make a living doing what we love. Thank you. We promise to work hard to justify your trust, and, as
always, we guarantee safe delivery of your orders and your satisfaction.

President
See below for a brief key to the abbreviations and symbols used in our catalogs and on the website
For Standard sized Cattleyas we generally estimate time till first flowering as the following:
3.5 pots - 2-3 years
Throughout this special eCatalog you will see this symbol marking new hybrids and mericlones that are in very limited quantity.
We may only have a few dozen plants available and they will go on a first come basis.
Cattleya lueddemanniana
var. semi-alba
*L* Indicates plants are suitable for artificial light culture and for growing on windowsills, due to mature plant size and/or light requirements.
Blooming Size indicates plants that are large enough to flower in season, within 12 months.
Near Blooming Size indicates plants that are large enough to flower in season within 12-18 months.
Items with M preceding the number are mericlones (produced from tissue culture) and are expected to be identical to the photo shown.
Seedlings (produced from seedpods) are simply listed with the four-digit number. You should expect some variation in size, shape, color,
markings and form among these plants.
2.5-3 pots - 3+ years
Brassavola nodosa
World famous awarded mericlone Blc. George King Serendipity AM/AOS - See Page 5
This native Venezuelan species is one of our most popular offerings in the Cattleya alliance. Due to its compact growth habit, plants
can reach mature size in limited space and become show-stopping
specimens in just a few years. New growths emerge late in the year
with buds maturing just in time for the holiday season.
Flowers are a crystalline lavender with a unique blend of orange
and plum purple in the throat. Summit is one of the larger clones
with flowers around 4 1/2 across that appear in groups of three
per stem. A well grown plant can carry six or more stems in a
single season, making for a most impressive holiday show!
We are offering Near Blooming Size plants in 3.5 pots, $17.95
and Blooming Size plants in 4-5 pots, $29.95. The biggest
plants will sell first so order quickly!
