#595 C. Trimos X Ble Malvern 
This Blc Malvern is one of the best Winter yellow hybrids I have seen, for it 
always has rich yellow color, grand form and heavy texture. The pollen was 
used on a pale, nearly white Trimos, a cross of trianae alba and delicate lav- 
ender mossiae. The yellow of Maivern is sufficiently intense that I feel sure 
it will dominate a good share of the offspring. Lips reddish purple. Winter 
through Spring. . 
#596 C. Maggie Raphael variety aurea X C. aurea 
This unsual Maggie Raphael favored her Dowiana aurea parent, more than the 
trianae alba, making her sepals and petals a rich, buttery cream color, with 
crimson dowiana lip and gold fan of veins in throat. Very showy and striking. 
Hoping to preserve and intensify this yellow, the pollen of golden C. aurea was 
used. Blooming season should be late Autumn through Winter, 
#604 Le Martinetti (C. Mossiae X L. tenebrosa) 
A very large, pale orchid colored Mossiae carried the seed pod. lL. tenebrosa, 
with four G-inch bronze blooms to the spike was an exceedingly fine specimen of 
this species which is known to be strong in reproducing its rich bronze color 
in its offspring; lip dark purple. . Spring through Summer. 
qol4 C. trianae, Delicate Perfection X Ble Malvern 
Both parents are described above. lf the delicate shading of this fine trianae 
blends with the rich yellow of Malvern, the result should be as entrancing as 
the cheek of a peach, Feoruary.
