#600 C. trianse variety Edgar Knieht X Le Aeneid 
The three plants of this famous variety of trianae were purchased by me after 
they had won their original owners, Alberts & Merkle Bros, first prize as finest 
three Cattieya Species exhibited. The darkest, most strikingly vivid trianaes I 
have met; lip and throat solid Royal purple, inside and out; the same color re- 
peated in a broad, triangular feather in the petals. Excellent form and texture. 
Le Aeneid, a cross of Le Britannia, alba and C. Fabianid, was an 8=inch, crisp 
white bloom, with glowing purple lip and the same feathering at tips of petals. 
In making the cross, I hoped to preserve that entrancing feathering in a wide 
range of whites to dark lavenders. January and February blooming. 
q7oOl C. trianse variety Edgar Knight X Le Memoria H. Tracey 
Seed parent identical witn that described above, this time received the pollen 
of 85-inch Memoria H. Tracey, one of nine blooms produced by the plant's three 
leads last season. The other eight blooms brought five dollars each in the 
wholesale florist market. Like trianae Ed Knight, they had solid Royal Purple 
lips, throats and feathering; lips broader and more ruffled than in the species. 
Should produce outstanding dark Le Winter hybrids. 

qo02 C. Enid X Le Joen Madison 
A grand, eight-inch Enid was “poll. inated by Le Joan Madison, dark, vivid and 
showy, with heavily ruffled, glowing reddish-purple lip; gold in throat. Feb. 
7003 Lc Altesse X Le South Esk variety The Governor 
Both of these blooms were huge, bold and strikingly dark and vivid. The cross 
was made in the hope of prolonging and intensifying the size, color, form and 
all their grand show points. Almost too large for corsage work, they would 
stand out in any flower show. Winter. 


q#608 C. trianae X C. Cherokee 
This C. Cherokee, a cross of bellantineana and Maggie Raphael, was exceedingly 
dark, medium large and of excellent texture. The trianae was darker than aver- 
age. The pod should be ripe and ready for flasking by the time the list reaches 
you. 
#009 C. trianae X C. Sir Pertenax 
Sir Pertenax, an Arm-Roy cross of CG. Mossiae, variety Countess Grey and ©, Sir 
Walter Scott, was a huge, very showy Winter bloom of pale, delicate rose color; 
ruffled mauve lip and large gold zones at sides of throat. The seed parent was 
an average sized, Light lavender bloom with crimson spot in lip. dJannary. 

#610 C. Sir Pertenax X C. Joan Manda 
This cross 1s expected to throw a good percentage of WHITE blooms, huge in size 
and of excellent quality. This is one of the largest seed pods I have and has 
been on the Pertenax, described above, more than a year. Should be ready momen- 
tarily. 
#611 C. Mossiee, Wagnerii X C. trianae, variety Dawn 
Tle well-known pure white Mossise, crossed with the nearly white trianae with 
pinkish blush near tips of petals, is expected to give forth a large percentage 
of C. Trimos, Alba, so floriferous and long bearing, for many start blooming in 
December and continue through Mother's Day, 
#612 C. trianse, Delicata Perfection X Le Aeneid 
One of the most outstanding varieties of trianae carried this seed pod. It was a 
lerge, delicately tinted bloom with wide petals and nice, rounded shape, with 
broad, frilled lip slightly darker than the petals. Very large gold zone back of 
lip and extending up into the throat, The Aeneid providing the pollen was from 
the bloom which won second prize in the International Orchid Show in the class of 
"Hybrids Flowering for the First Time." Pure white, heavy-textured sepals and 
petals; vivid, broad crimson lip. February.
