PHALAENOPSIDS 
Many of the Phalaenopsids listed here are outstanding crosses which will 
produce Show Flowers. In an effort to aid our customers in making their selec- 
tions, the merits of each cross have been indicated—whether it is outstanding for 
its decorative value, as a cut flower, or some other characteristic. 
We wish to call your attention, particularly, to the beauty of the pink- . 
flowering hybrids and to remind you of their value as a decorative plant. The 
flowers on a spike of a pink-flowering hybrid open within a period of two weeks 
and then remain in flower for from six to eight weeks, depending upon the care 
given them. With the white-flowering Phalaenopsis hybrids, the buds open more 
slowly and the flowers which opened first (at the lower end of the spray) wither 
before all the blooms have opened. However, the white-flowering hybrids are 
in greater demand for cut flowers. 
No. 188 P. DORIS (P. Elisabethae x P. Katherine Siegwart ) 
| This is one of the finest of the Phalaenopsids on the market today. 
Flowers are large, white, and some have tints of pink on the back of the 
petals and sepals. See photo. - Flowering size, $35.00 
No. 208 P. DAVID BOY (P. Schilleriana, Walter Jones x P. Doris) 
We consider this to be one of the finest of the light pink hybrids; flowers 
are of perfect form. The Schilleriana used here has dark pink flowers 
of heavy texture and fine form; for several seasons in succession it has 
produced over 140 flowers per spray each year. The Doris used to make 
this hybrid was 414” in diameter and backs of sepals and petals were 
flushed with pink. In February, 1950, this hybrid flowered for the first 
time, and at the Sixth International Orchid Show in Miami, it was 
awarded the South Florida Orchid Society's Silver Trophy for the best 
seedling flowering for the first time. See photo. Limited supply.

No. 268 P. FONTAINEBLEAU, PINK RUFFLES X P. DORIS
