FENNELL’S 
ORCHID SEED LIST 
Here is our current seed list. It is full 
of the best quality cattleyas (darks, white 
with colored lip and pure white), and 
Vandas. Remember all Fennell orchid 
seed is guaranteed to germinate or it will 
be replaced with another packet of equal 
quality. We are the oldest producers of 
orchid seed. We grow all our own from 
only the best possible parents.

the best known parents of alba orchids.

and C. St. Petersburg is pure white. This 
may be light or pure white and of ex- 
cellent shape and texture.

medium sized bright yellow winter 
blooming’ cattleya.

FINE, ROUND, DARK VAR. « BRAS-

make an excellent primary as the Lued-

sive flower which holds itself well and 
does not curl its petals nor sepals.

producing 8 to 15 flowers per cluster.

make a very fine dark flower for the 
February-March season when flowers

DARK «x C. BELGICA—This should also 
be a very fine flower for late winter and 
early spring. Both parents large and
