#585 C. Amabilis x C. Lord Rothschild X Ble Sunrise 
This seed tests highly viable and the seedlings grow vigorously. Both parent 
blooms were big and showy, with brilliant, ruffled lips; bronze throats. 
Prolific May and June blooming plants, offering excellent competition to the 
species, Mossiae and Gigas, and bringing much better price per bloom. 
#586 C. Lorna alba X Be Madame Charles Maron 
The pollen of a huge, showy, pink-lavender Mine Chas. Maron, with broad, fringed 
Brasso lip and pale gold throat, was carried by Lorna alba, a cross of Enid alba 
and Gigas, F.M.Be The cross is expected to produce white to charming pastel 
Spring blooms, huge, showy and fragrant. 
#087 C. Enid X Bile Sunrise 
Here in Soutn Florida this especially fine Enid has the habit of blooming twice 
a year. One of her fine, dune blooms received the pollen of Ble Sunrise. 

#89 Le Charles Futterman X Be Mme Charles Maron 
Le Charles Futterman sometimes has a very long blooming season, the first new 
lead blooming in late August, the last in March. it was a March bloom which 
was pollinated by Mme. Chas., described above. Light rose-lavender 7#- inch 
bloom, with inverted half-moon of crimson in lip, large gold zones at sides of 
throat. Should produce fine Winter through Spring Ble hybrids. 

#592 C. Gaskelliana, fine variety X C. Santa Monica, var. Amethyst 
Gaskelliana, sometimes called “The Summer Mossiae™ has many of that species? 
qualities - very floriferous, averaging four or five blooms per stem; same dark 
mottling in lip; pleasingly fragrant. One of the early blooms received the pol- 
len of the vivid Arm-Roy Sante Monica, much darker than the usual run of that 
hybr 10s 
#7593 Ble Sunrise X Le Luminose aurea 
ear meteiar E- DAEV 
The Ble cross was made in the hope of giving the Luminosa bronze sheen to 
Sunrise, already rich in color with glowing gold throat. Spring, end Summer. 

q#o97 C. Triumph X Be Hartland 
Practically everyone who has had a Ryerson list is familiar with the Be Hartland 
- the largest, darkest, and most glowingly vivid of the Brasso's, faithfully 
blooming twice a year, summer and winter - three to five big, heavy-textured, 
well-rounded blooms per lead; broad, velvety crimson lips. C. Triumph, carry- 
ing the pollen of a Winter bloom, was a very dark purple Spring bloom with still 
darker lip - one of the darkest hybrids I have seen. Well shaped, with good 
substance. 
#598 C. General Pulteney X C. trianase x Le Rubreanae e 
December blooring Gen. Pulteney seems to make a better mama than some of the 
ladies, as after carrying a seed pod a full year, he is in bloom at the moment 
this is being compiled, with two nice blooms on each of two leads. Clear, bright 
lavender, well held blooms; lower half of lips purple; extra-large gold zones in 
throat. The pollen parent was striking due to the crinson feathering in the pet- 
als, matching the lip, which was edged with pale lavender. Should produce nice 
Winter Le hybrids. 
#599 C. Florid X C. Santa Monica var. Amethyst 
The pod parent, a cross of C. lebiata and C. Princess Royal, was a vivid, dark 
bloom of rich violet tones; dark showy lip; one of three 8-inch Winter ba vhies 
The pollen parent described in #592.
