#40-P LC ERICA SANDER X C. REMY CHOLIET 
Large, brilliantly dark Winter blooms; | broad, ruffled lips. 
q41-F LC BALDUR VAR. MAGNIFICA X LC HELSTON 
Le Helston, & cross of Le Profusion and GC. + Fabia, was an 8=inch bloom of fine 
shape, substance and rich coloring. 
#42-F C. MAGGIE RAPHARL ALBA X LC CYNTIIA ALBA 
This reversal of the previously offered # 42 is expected to be equally fine, as 
this white form of Maggie Raphael was outstanding for its size, shape and vivid- 
ness of lip. Broad and ruffled, it was like crimson velvet, with the Dowiana 
fan of golden veins in throat. Crossed with an equally showy Cynthia, the re- 
sults should be a prolific display of gleaming whites with colored lips. Decem- 
ber through June, 
#50-F C. BELGICA VAR. ROBERT DOIG xX BC HARTLAND | 
large, dark show=type blooms with velvety crimson-purple lips. Winter. 


qo6-F D. PHALAENOPSIS ALBA 
In response to requests, we shifted some more of these pure white Dendrobiun- 
Phalaenopsis seedlings to 250cce flasks, averaging 75 seedlings each. 
#58-F C. SPECIOSISSIMA, STANLEYII X C. ALWYNIT VAR. JANE FROMAN 
The snowy, white Tariety o of Speciosissima carried the seed pod. One of three, 
well-held, nicely rounded fragrant blooms with a rosy splotch back of the lip; 
gold in throat. The Alwynii, named in honor of songstress, Jane Froman, came 
from the Gore collection. One of the showiest of whites with crimson-purple 
lips, its parents were Enid aiba and Amabilis alba. Exceedingly fine, well- 
held Spring albas should result from this Cross. 


#86-F LC CANHAMIANA AIBA (C. Mossiae, Reinecliana X L. Purpurata, Orchid Knoll) 
Ever since the lavishly illustrated pues 1946 Orchid Bulletin appeared with its 
many lovely color plates of "Canham Alba" I've been receiving requests for this 
floriferous June alba. As many times as this cross has been repeated, it is al- 
ways popular for weddings, graduation corsages and Mother's Day. 
#538-F BC BEDELIA VAR. ROSY DAWN X LC BALDUR VAR. MAGNIFICA 
If you are looking for Late Autumn to Early Winter Ble hyorids of top quality 
at a ridiculously low price per seedling, this will fill the bill. 
#56 9=F C. ENID (MOSSIAE X GIGAS VAR. SANDERIANA) 
One of the most satisfactory of primary hybrids, first bloomed in 1898, this 
cross is still being repeated more often than any other. Large, vivid, florif- 
erouse 
#572-F C. DECEMBER SNOW X C. ANGELINA (Both parents PURE WHITE) 
The Seed parent was one of the newer white crosses, first bloomed on the duPont 
Estate in 1944. A cross of C. trianae var. The Baron and C. Edithiae, it was a 
huge, bold, heavy-textured PURE WHITE bloom with gold high in throat. Angelina, 
also a large, pure white, has a long ancestry of white blooms in its geneology. 
q#O73-F C. DECEMBER SNOW xX C. BENSON'S #26 (Both parents PURE WHITE) 
If Benson registered his Number 26, 1 do not have the name of it as yet. But 
the bloom, like December Snow, was pure , PURE white, of glistening, heavy- 
textured perfection; rounded petals; 8g~ inch spread. Spring.
