2009 Summer Mailer Available for Download -- Monday, April 20 2009
 Our Summer 2009 mailer is at the printers and should be mailed out to those on our mailing list soon. But you do not have to wait, because the mailer is available as a downloadable version. Bear in mind that this is a 3MB file in PDF format, so you will need the Adobe Reader and a high-speed connection (DSL or better recommended - a dial-up connection could take 30 to 60 minutes).
Download 2009 Summer Mailer
The great thing about this downloadable version is you can click a selection and be taken directly to its location on our website.
About Us Bill Carter and Owen Holmes began selling orchids as cut flowers in the years following World War II when corsage flowers were in great demand for Valentine's Day, Easter, and Mother's Day. As lifestyles became less formal in the 1960's and the demand for cut flowers decreased, we began producing orchids for home growing. We started hybridizing orchids in the 1950's and developed our own modern laboratory for seed and tissue culture in the 1970's. Our hybridizing program has resulted in worldwide recognition for Carter & Holmes as a source for outstanding orchids - in particular, art-shade cattleyas. Today, we ship orchid plants of many genera to hobbyists and commercial growers throughout the United States and to many countries around the world.
If you have received an award on one of our plants, please let us know about it.
We welcome visitors to our 18 greenhouses Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you cannot visit us in person, we hope you will telephone, write or e-mail your questions about our orchids, pricing or other matters.
