foliage. Long-lasting flowers, petals overlap- 
ping in pinwheel fashion, waved and fluted. 
Much admired, especially when used as a dis- 
tinctive cut or corsage flower. 
WALTZTIME (Schmidt, 1947)—Beautifully ruffled 
cattleya-orchid, no markings in lower petals, 
two top petals veined deep violet from base 
to the small blotch of velvety violet in petal 
center. Strong upright grower, very free flower- 
ing, long blooming season. Because of the large 
ruffled flowers held well above the foliage, 
Waltztime proved to be our best selling 1947 
introduction. Be sure to try it.

1946 INTRODUCTIONS 
AND OTHER FINE VARIETIES 
DARK SPRINGTIME—Rose red, softening to or- 
chid towards the large white center, petals 
bordered white. Large umbels of ruffled flowers, 
free flowering. A fine red form of the well- 
known Springtime. 
DUCHESS OF KENT—Lower petals pure white, 
waved; top petals white, slightly feathered at 
base and with very small mark of pale mallow- 
purple, ruffled edges. Vigorous, tall, very large 
flowers. Probably the finest ruffled white. Very 
popular—we never have enough stock. 
EMPRESS OF RUSSIA—Rose maroon, each petal 
with very dark center and narrow white mar- 
gin. Color varies considerably. Tall grower, 
and although an old variety it is so different 
that each year the demand exceeds the supply. 
IRENE RITCHIE—Light pink, flushed salmon, top 
petals veined deep red to medium blackish 
blotch, rest of petal heavily flushed orange- 
salmon to the narrow salmon pink border. 
Strong, spreading grower, large loose flowers, 
beautiful under glass or in part shade. 
LUCY ANN LESLIE (syn. Lady Leslie)—Lovely 
pink, top two petals heavily veined from base 
to the medium-sized velvety crimson blotch. 
Large round flowers on good-sized umbels. 
Wonderful seller. 
MARY ELIZABETH — Soft salmon rose, lighter 
towards center, top petals barely marked near 
base. Strong upright grower, free blooming. 
Deeper colored and broader petaled than Sal- 
mon Queen. Outstanding garden variety. 
PEACH BLOW—Palest peach or orchid, light at 
edge of petals, each petal veined deep crim- 
son from base to the round red blotch in center. 
Blotch flushed and surrounded light violet rose. 
Medium bushy grower, large flowers. Quite 
distinct in color. 
PEARLY QUEEN — White, with a faint blush 
flush, two top petals veined red from base to 
the small velvety deep red spot in petal center. 
Compact, bushy grower, with large, beauti- 
fully ruffled flowers. Fine for pot culture. 
PINK CHARM—Lower petals soft pink, light at 
throat, top petals veined from base to the me- 
dium-sized velvety dark brown blotch, rest of 
top petals overlaid and flushed orange and 
salmon. Medium bushy grower, flowers are 
ruffled. 
RHAPSODY — Salmon - flushed pink, light 
center, and velvety crimson in top petals, 
all petals waved and fluted. Large um- 
bels of bold flowers. Although a rather tall 
grower, Rhapsody has such beautiful 
flowers that it is a real top seller. It is the 
finest tri-color variety. 

SALMON SPRINGTIME—More red than salmon, 
white near center, top petals veined and with 
medium velvety crimson blotch, the whole 
flower attractively flecked with irregular white 
spots. Strong, upright grower, free flowering, 
with large umbels of ruffled flowers. Highly 
recommended. 
SALMON SPLENDOR—This 1946 introduction is 
best described as a larger, “pinker’’ toned 
Grossmama Fischer. Large round flowers, pet- 
als waved. Strong bushy growth, particularly 
fine under glass. 
STARDUST-—Palest lilac of a shimmering, frosty 
quality. Top petals heavily veined rose violet 
from base to medium-sized blotch of deepest 
velvety violet, flushed rose. Strong grower, 
with Rhododendron-like umbels of very large 
flowers. Especially fine under glass or in part 
shade. 
SCHONE ILLA (syn. Schone Ellen, Shon Ila, etc.) 
—Distinctive shade of shell pink, ‘orchid under- 
tone, top petals veined and blotched deep 
crimson and rose red. Strong, bushy grower, 
with large umbels of medium-large ruffled 
flowers. Delicate coloring. 
VIDA BURKE— Lower petals rosy pink with 
deeper mark down center; top petals heavily 
veined from base to velvety brown-black
