Name, Parentage and Description 
BLC. EVA PATTERSON X C. BELGICA “A.M.” VARIETY 
Our quest here is for fine Hybrids for December and January covering the Holi- 
day season of the year. Both parents are very strong growers. Flowers shouid 
also be very large. The C. Belgica which was used received an award since at 
the A.O.S. meeting in December 1947. 
LC. WINDERMERE “A.M.” X C. ENID XXXX 
We have remade this cross with identical parents as our earlier batch has been 
so very satisfactory. The flowers of the previous batch were large, dark and 
well shaped, and texture was very good. The plant is a very strong grower. 
LC. DERRYNANE “VAR. HENRIETTA PATTERSON” X C. ROYANA 
(EXTRA FINE) 
Two exceptional Hybrids were used here. Le. Derrynane is a very good Hybrid 
derived from Le. Princess Margaret. C. Royana was described elsewhere in this 
list. 
MOSSIAE “REINECKIANA” (YOUNG’S VAR.) X C. GIGAS “F.M.B.” 
Please refer to description under No. 565. 
C. MOUNT RAPHOYAL X C. MOSSIAE “R. E. PATTERSON” 
The Hybrid used on C. Mossiae “R. E. Patterson” was an extremely dark and 
well shaped flower of great substance. The lip of this particular Hybrid was 
very dark with large yellow eyes. The flower over all was very large. We again 
use our old standby, “R. E. Patterson”. 
LC. ERNIE PYLE (LC. ALTESSE X C. MOSSIAE “R.E. PATTERSON”) 
This cross was remade with our fine dark Mossiae “R.E. Patterson”. When we 
first made this particular cross we were very happy over the fact that the first 
plant bloomed in three years and four months from seed. This plant was six 
years old in 1948 and has bloomed on seven bulbs; the reason being, on single 
lead parts of the plant two growths have been put up each blooming year. The 
flowers which we have just cut on this plant numbered twelve blooms. The plant 
is now a strong double lead plant. 
LC. GEORGE BALDWIN (LC. PRINCESS MARGARET No. 2 X C. ENID 
“VAR. ORCHIDHAVEN”) 
We remake this particular cross once again with the best parents obtainable. 
Fine results are assured. Please refer to general description under No. 425.

C. TRIMOS (C. MOSSIAE No. 24 X C. TRIANAE GOLD LIP) 
An old dependable cross for February and March is repeated here with very fine 
parents. The flowers should be of medium color and the plants from any former 
cross of the same parents have always grown very well. When the proper parents 
are selected such as the case is here, flowers of good texture can well be expected.
