C. BRUSSELS ALBA X C. LABIATA, GILMOURIAE . .  .. 
Here is a combination of two of perhaps the most profitable raha 
known. It is well known that C. Brussels produces a heavy crop of quality 
flowers. Its growth habit is good and tends to make many leading growths. 
The introduction of C. labiata blood should add strength and quality 
and consolidate the flowering season. We think that this hybrid should 
crop on the high price market. 
LC. KEOKUK VAR. RED CHIEF X C. REMY CHOLET : : : 
Le. Keokuk, Red Chief is a free growing hybrid carrying large highly 
colored flowers well arranged on a stem of above average length and 
strength. Flowering in the early spring, its combination with C. Remy 
Cholet should produce a vigorous growing hybrid with medium lavender 
flowers with some yellow or gold in the throat. We would expect early 
spring to be the flowering period. 
LC. CUESTA VAR. COLOSSUS X C. TITYUS VAR. PATRIARCH 
A mating of Cuesta, Colossus and our fine breeding Tityus "Patriarch" 
should result in a superb cross combining dark color with the excellent 
texture and shape which the Tityus Patriarch" crosses have shown here- 
tofore. We hope for a winter bloomer. 
C. MONARCH X C. EMPRESS FREDERICK ee SMA: 
Genetisists have been urging us to employ recombination in orchid breed- 
ing for a long time. Here is C. Monarch recombined with its parent, C. 
Empress Frederick, and we look forward to the results which should be a 
free growing, free flowering hybrid possessing deep lavender flowers 
with rich yellow in the throat and rich lavender gold veining. Winter and 
early spring season. Definitely a commercial cut flower item. 
C. VILLE DE LIEGE ALBA X C. AMABILIS ALBA : : ; 
C. Ville de Liege alba has long been a favorite of our customers. Its clean 
vigorous growth, large flowers with pure white sepals and petals, rich 
deep lavender lip with pleasing yellow throat is a refreshing sight. The 
contribution of the well known characteristics of C. Amabilis to it should 
produce a most pleasing and profitable summer flowering hybrid. 
LC. WINEMA X C HAROLD ALBA as Dae alae: one ts 
Lc. Winema is a comparatively rank grower, bearing splendid alba 
flowers. The combination with the compactness of C. Harold alba is an 
interesting experiment in genetic antagonism. We do not know why we 
are banking on this one but we will be disappointed if the results are not 
worthwhile. We expect summer flowers from it. 
C. PORCIA X C. LODDIGESII : : : : : : : 
C. Porcia has proved to be a very profitable cut flower item with us this 
year. Its exceptionally vigorous growing habit and flowerability are fa- 
miliar to us all. C. Loddigesii should provide a rounding out of the flowers. 
We are planning to retain quite a batch for our cut flower section. Prob- 
‘ably a wide season, spring, summer and fall. 
LC. PRIAM X L. TENEBROSA ; ; : ; 5 ‘ ; 
Tenebrosa is a species producing orange-bronze flowers of the smaller 
size. Priam is a compact growing plant producing clusters of pinkish 
flowers of the smaller size. We expect this cross to produce many inter- 
esting novelties. 
C. PORCIA X LC. PRIAM : Wee ui te ic ela naa 
This should prove to be a very worthwhile cross involving two very 
famous hybrids and it will be interesting to observe the influence of the 
introduction of Priam blood. We expect the results to be gratifying. 
Likely to flower summer and fall. 
C. TRIUMPHANS X LC. S. J. BRACEY 
This should be an improved form of S. J. Bracey flowering in the summer 
and fall.
