C, trianse X Le. Chas. Futterman $15.00 
The C. trianae seed parent was an exceptionally fine specimen. With wide 
sepals and fine bold form, it could easily pass as a hybrid. 
Extra large and dark, it bloomed in January. 
Pollen parent, Le. Chas. Futterman, carried a nine inch bloom. Very dark, 
intense color, good form and substance. Petals three inches wide. Both 
S & P unusually wide for an Lc. Bloomed in January. 
C. Aurantiace X C. Aurantiaca (entirely different strains) § .00 
Three inch flowers in clusters. Clear orange-red. Very early Spring bloom. 
Commercial value as an extra nice pot plant for Easter. Easily raised; a 
strong, rapid grower. Fine for those flasking their first seed. 
C. Labiata X C. Maggie Raphael x C. King George 15.00 
The seed parent was a fine, large, delicate colored Labiata. 
Pollen parent, an "unnamed" cross of C. Maggie Raphael & C. King George, 
carried a nine inch bloom of excellent form and heavy substance. 
Orchid colored S & P; grand crimson-magenta lip; golden-veined throat. 
Both of its parents were carefully selected as follows: 
C. Maggie Raphael, lilac, with large, dark lip; golden-veined throat. 
C. King George, Nankeen yellow S & P; crimson-magenta, golden veined lip. 
Cyrtopodium punctatum X Cyrtopodium punctatum. 5.00 
Has hornlike pseudobulbs often a foot long. Each long, branching flower spike 
carried over 100 greenish-yellow 15 inch blooms, marked reddish-brown. Early 
Spring bloom. Easily and rapidly grown, blooming much sooner than Cattleyas. 
C. Trimos, Standard cross of ©. Mossiae & C. trinanae 12.50 
C. Trimos is an excellent free flowering commercial orchid with wide 
blooming season, Christmas to Mother's day. A thoroughly dependable bloom. 
C. Mossine, seed parent, unusually large, dark lavender; good form & texture. 
The big, showy blooms from this plant always bring hybrid prices. 
C. trianae, pollen parent, was a very dark, late Spring bloom. 
C. Bowringiana X C. Crispa 10.00 
Seed parent, a grand, vigorous C. Bowringiana, with striking spike of 28 
intense 24 inch blooms, carried two more similar spikes at the same time it 
held this seed pod. The vivid, almost purple S & P and intense, glowing 
purple lip and bright yellow throat, made a show of color that had little 
competition among early Fall bloomers. This extra strong parent almost 
always passes along its nearly 98% viability to its offspring. 
Pollen parent, L. Crispa, carried eight medium sized blooms. Pure milk white 
S & P, heavy substance, deep purple lip; contrasting white edging. Late summer. 

C. Bowringiana X C. trianae Alba 10.00

on an out-of-season spike which bloomed in January. 
C. trianae Alba, pollen parent, a large, well-held bloom; excellent form and 
substance. Pure, waxy white S&P; very dark, imtense, deep purple lip. January. 
(I know that Bowringiana crosses produce excellent results. My C. Bowringiana 
x C. Speciosissima averages six five-inch, well-held blooms on a spike; vivid 
lavender, with purple border on lip; bright yellow in throat. Commercial 
demand for these lovely clusters of blooms is increasing.)

purple lip» Petals dark orchid with purple feathering in center of each petal.
