    Carter and Holmes OrchidsWelcome to our New Christmas eCatalog!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.

    M3492/8064 Cattleya pericivaliana Summit FCC/AOS

    This native Venezuelan species is one of our most popular offer-ings in the Cattleya alliance.

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!
