C. GIGAS VAR. BEDFORD (WCL) X LC. HASSALLII 
ADGBASVARS BOYNTON co eee May—June 75c 
There are only two varieties of Gigas that are white with dark lips that 
are good breeders. Gigas F.M.B. and the very scarce Gigas Bedford, Some 
English authorities consider Bedford superior. Lc. Hassallii alba var. Boyn- 
ton is a very fine snow-white with ruby lip—heavy texture—robust grow- 
ing—very free flowering and very large. June flowering period. 
C. RUBY X CATTLEYA A. J. RUCK...Spring and Summer 65c 
C. Ruby has the darkest maroon sepals and petals and labellum one could 
imagine. It flowers with us twice a year in December and July. It has 
flowered biannually at these times for six years. The parentage is unknown 
as it was raised in a batch of seedlings from which the label was lost. We 
have crossed this with the very dark C. A. J. Ruck. See our Spring 1949 
catalog for a color picture of the latter The flowering season of this 
hybrid could be various but should be predominantly in the late Spring 
and early summer. 
C. SNOWSONG #8 X C. LADY JOAN VAR. MODEL 
Fall to Winter 65c 
C. Snowsong #8 is one of those gems of the albino crosses that gives 
extremely heavy texture and free flowering characteristics seldom seen in 
white. As high as 8 and 10 flowers to a spray averaging 4 to 5 inches 
across. Flowers have deep yellow eye with snow-white glistening sepals 
and petals. The C. Lady Joan var. Model is a fine shaped flower taken 
from this well known Christmas flowering white. The combination should 
give medium sized white flowers of heavy texture with a freedom of bloom 
and a good season. 
C. PRINCESS (C. Trianae x C. Lueddemanniana) 
MX CORUBYS 2 ieee ee eee Late Fall to Winter 50c 
C. Princess is a large bold flower of heavy texture and flowers, regularly 
during December. Color is uniform lavender and solid in sepals and petals 
while the labellum is deep rose and ruffled. This combined with C. Ruby 
as described in #920 should give a fine dark flower at a desirable time of 
year.
