Colored Crosses 
#662 - C. LABIATA X LC CROWBOROUGH x LC HILLARY,FCC - Pollen from the prize win- 
ning, large, medium dark with dark lips, perfectly shaped hybrid, one of five 
blooms on the stem, was used on a fine dark Labiata, petals and lip ruffled and 
distinctive, rivaling many hybrids in beauty. Should produce show blooms for 
Autumn. 
#663 - LC CROWBOROUGH x LC HILLARY,FCC X C. DOWIANA,AUREA - The pollen parent 
described above was the pod parent here. Crossed on it was an exceptionally 
brilliant yellow Dowiana, aurea, not a jungle plant but a seedling of carefully 
selected parents. Some of the offspring should be very dark, others with bronze 
overtones. Autumn season. 
#664 - C. JUPENID X C. EDOUARD DARTOIS - The brilliant, glowing, solidly colored 
Flamingo pink C. Edouard Dartois was one of the most unusual Cattleya blooms I 
have seen. With such broad petals and lips it was practically square in shape, 
it could easily pass for a Brasso, with wonderful form and texture. Pale yellow 
eyes and veins in throat. Jupenid, a Sladden cross of Jupiter and Enid, was one 
of five 63" rose-colored blooms on the lead. February-March blooming season. 
#665 - C. SIR PERTINAX X C. EDOUARD DARTOIS = Sir Pertinax is like a very good 
Enid, except more controlled as to season, blooming January or February. The 
large, light rose bloom that became the pod parent was one of twelve on the 
three-lead plant. Strong growing and free flowering, it always earns its keep. 
Ed. Dartois described above. 
#670 - LC PRUDENCE X LC MAX PALM - A medium sized, full and round Prudence was 
pollinated by Le Max Palm, a new hybrid that is huge, dark and handsome. Result- 
ing blooms should be large, heavy textured and dark. Late Fall and Winter. 
#671 - LC MAX PALM X LC DERRYNANE - This Derrynane was one of the most strikingly 
handsome, dark and brilliant blooms I have seen. When this plant is in bloom, no 
one can look at anything else in the greenhouse or Orchidarium. 
#672 =- LC PRINCESS PRUDENCE X LC SOUTH ESK - Princess Prudence is a cross of 
Prudence and Princess Mary - a very showy and well formed medium rose-lavender 
bloom with dark lip. Le South Esk is always huge and striking, with wide open, 
ruffled lip; gold in throat. Late Fall and Winter. 
#673 - BC BEDELIA X C. REMY CHOLLET - Bedelia, one of the parents of Be Lois Ry- 
erson, is one of the few Brassos that will habitually carry a good seed pod. It 
is a very large, round bloom of rich rose color; lip ruffled and fringed, has the 
same rose, topped by pale gold zones. This C. Remy Chollet was a very large, 
dark, and full-blown bloom of excellent form and texture; dark lip; yellow throat. 
Should produce excellent Be hybrids for late Winter and Spring.
