1949 RYERSON LIST NUMBER TWELVE - Hybrid Orchid Seed. Winter, 1949 Page 2. 
#637 Le Princess Prudence X Ble Angus 
Like many such complicated hybrids, this cross is low in percentage of viability, 
but such a fine cross I'm including it anyhow. Both were huge, round, richly 
colored Black and Flory hybrids; very dark and showy. Winter. 
#638 C. Admiration X Le Maginot 
The pod parent is a strong growing hybrid, averaging three to four good sized 
blooms per stem. Medium lavender S & P, dark lip; fine form and texture. Le 
Maginot, Black and Flory cross of Le Ishtar X C. Prince Shimadzu, has produced 
many top quality show blooms, richly dark and fine in form. Winter. 
#639 C. Alberto Toselli x C. Fabia var Ardens X Ic Joan Maddison 
The seed parent was one of fow 86-inch blooms on the stem; bright lavender with 
rich dark lip, broad and frilled; good form and texture. Le Joan Maddison, Black 
& Flory cross of Le Queen Mary X C. Gloriette, was a well formed, large, very 
dark bloom with brilliant lip; heavy texture. Winter through Spring. 
#640 Ble Dorothy Fennell X Le Maginot 
This Dorothy Fennell was a large, medium-dark mauve bloom, with broad, wide-open 
ruffled lip; lower half dusky purple; large gold zone in throat. Heavy substance; 
fine, bold form. Lc Maginot described above, #638. 
#641 Le Alten X C. Titrianae 
Le Alten, Patterson cross of Le Altesse X C. Enid, was very large, medium dark 
bloom with intensely dark lip; plant strong growing and prolific producer. 
Titrianae also large, lighter lavender with dark splashes in petals; rich, dark 
lip. Late Autumn through Winter. 
#642 Bo Lois Ryerson X Be Hartland 
Be Lois Ryerson, cross of Bc Bedelia X C. General Pulteney, was one of two large, 
handsome blooms on the stem; S & P clear bright rose; broad, brasso lip with 
lower half velvety crimson, edged light rose; splash same crimson in throat, sur- 
rounded by large, pale yellow zone. Fine form and texture. Feb. As you might 
expect, no pollen would do for the daughter's hybrid but Boe Hartland, one of the 
finest brassos I've yet to see - large, dark, vivid and almost square in shape. 
So glowing I've still not taken a picture of it that begins to do it justice. 
#643 Le Vallandina X Lc Gloria 
If you're seeking extremely dark Le hybrids, this should interest you, for both 
parents were very dark, with intense purple lips. Little of this seed available. 
#644 Le Rheims X C. Jean Trimble 
Both were 77-inch blooms with medium dark S & P; very dark crimson-purple lips. 
Rheims had gold veins in throat; Jean Trimble's throat was same solid color as 
lip; same color repeated in broad stripes the length of the petals. December. 
#645 C. trianae var Snowdrift X C. Eleanor alba x Be Queen Alexander 
The PURE WHITE trianae was one of three 8-inch blooms on the stem. Crossed with 
the big, fringed-lip white brasso, it should turn out fine, big white blooms with 
broad lips; gold in throat; grand shape and texture. Jan-Feb. 
#646 Le Winter Belle X C. Enid Alba 
Le Winter Belle was one of three well rounded 7=inch blooms on the stem; gleaming 
white S & P; vivid crimson in lip extending up sides of throat in clearly defined 
three-quarters circular sweep. Balance of throat white except for dash of yellow 
deep in apex. C. Enid alba was a 9einch pure white with colored lip bloom of 
grand shape and texture. Mottled purple lip; gold zones in throat. December.
