Through years of painstaking selection, the finest 
plants of the species have been crossed and re- 
crossed to obtain the strongest growth; finest color, 
texture, and shape; and abundant production of 
today’s superb hybrid orchid. With careful selec- 
tion continuous bloom can be obtained in plants 
suited to various growing conditions. 
Baby Seedlings from these 
superior parents are trans- 
ferred at about yearly inter- 
vals from laboratory flask 
“incubators” to pots contain- 
ing several plants and then 
to individual 1%", 2%", 3”, 
and 4” pots. There they 
bloom for the first time and continue to flower with 
increasing beauty each year as the plant gains size 
and vigor.
