Orchid Seed List #1 
This seed, now ready or soon available, includes some of the best crosses we have 
ever made. 
The parents are exceptionally fine varieties, selected for their high quality over 
a long period of years, and chosen from thousands of plants. For example, C Trianae 
var Naranja is the largest, best held, light-colored trianae we have seen. Its broad, 
heavy petals are deeply ruffled, Light mauve; the lip is large, round, brilliant rose, 
with deep yellow in throat. The plant is strong and vigorous in growth. It was the 
trianae parent of BLC Dorothy Fennell, one of the best Brasso-laelio-cattleyas ever 
produced. C frianae var Naranja is potent in passing on its substance, petal shape, 
ruffling and winter flowering habit. 
C Trianae var Mary Fennell is one of the best dark trianae we have seen. It has fine 
shape, broad round petals, dark rose~lavender, with deeper blotches in the petal tips. 
The lip is round, very dark and brilliant, with attractive yellow markings. Strong 
grower. 
We have kept and used the above plants for the past 40 years, consistently refusing 
to sell any of them, in spite of many and generous offers. 
Our selections of BLC Dorothy Fennell parents from the 1200 plants of this cross 
that we have flowered during the past nine years, all are exceptionally fine plants. 
These plants average very high in vigor, size and flower quality. They range in 
color from nearly pure white to very dark. Over half the plants bloomed are of ex- 
esedingly high show quality. 
In fact, all parents used in these crosses were the best we could find. 
Seed is sold in generous packets, each containing enough to plant from 10 to 15 large 
flasks. 
As soon as a pod ripens, we carefully prepare the seed and keep it under refrigeration 
until it is sent to you. These crosses are made primarily for our own use, and we 
plant some of each lot, selling only the surplus. 
We suggest that you make your selections from the following list, enclosing 75% of - 
the value with your order. We will send you the seed as it ripens, billing you for 
the balance due us. While we cannot guarantee to fill all orders, the supply being 
limited so that we may be sold out on some numbers, we hope to fill more than 90% of 
orders.
