RYERSON 1950 EXPANSIBLE ORCHID FOLDER - ORCHID SEED Page 6. 
Colored Crosses, cont'd. 
#675 - ©. REMY CHOLLET, PIERRE CHOLLET'S VAR. X BC HARTLAND - Pierre repeated 
the cross named for his father, using superior Monarch and Trianae to produce this 
outstanding variety of Remy Chollet, one of the biggest, boldest and darkest Remy 
Chollets I have seen. Crossed with huge, round, heavy-textured, brilliantly col- 
ored Be Hartland (from Winter bloom), this should produce exceptionally fine, 
large, dark, showy Winter Brassos. 
Pure White Crosses 
#653 - C. INTERMEDIA ALBA X C. DORENE - This should produce very free flowering 
pure white flowers for the Easter season. Intermedia alba averages five clear 
white, heavy textured bloom per stem. Dorene is larger, with bold, well rounded 
form, yellow in throat. 
#674 - C. BARBARA BILLINGSLEY X C. FLORENCE PATTERSON - This is one of the best 
Barbara Billingsleys I have seen, producing an abundance of well rounded, good 
textured blooms for the Mid-Winter Holiday season. Florence Patterson, Winter and 
Early Spring blooming, is a very large and handsome white; heavy texture; gold 
zone in throat. 
White-Colored-Lip Crosses 
#659 = C. ELEANORE ALBA X LC CANHAMIANA ALBA - More fine, White-Colored-Lip blooms 
for June weddings were the goal in this cross. The Eleanore alba favored Gigas 
FMB in size and brilliance of broad purple lip, including gold eyes in throat. 
One of the finest of Canham-albas was used as pollen parent. 
#660 - C. ELEANORE ALBA X C. PRISCILLA ALBA - Another division of the Eleanore 
alba listed above was the pod parent here. Priscilla alba, a cross of Enid alba 
and Speciosissima Stanleyii, has good form and texture, with mottled purple lip 
edged with white. Very fragrant. This, also, should produce a good percentage of 
White-Colored-Lip blooms for the June season. 

Yellow Crosses 
#668 - C. ELIZABETH MOSSMAN X LC GLENFERNESS - This Autumn blooming Elizabeth 
Mossman had five 6" blooms on the stem; clear cream in color, with bright pinkish 
fuschia and yellow in lips. Very attractive, well held blooms. The Le Glenfern- 
ess was a seven-inch, clear butter yellow bloom with faint veins of plum purple in 
petals. Lip was deep, velvety red, edged with pinkish lavender. Cross should 
produce a good percentage of fine yellow. 
#669 = C. RAPHAELLAUREA X LC GLENFERNESS - Raphaellaurea was a seven-inch, medium 
lavender bloom with extra large, dark lip; brilliant gold zone in throat. Very 
heavy substance; unusually fragrant. A good yellow like Glenferness crossed on 
such a colored bloom produces some fine yellows; other resulting blooms are inten- 
sified in darkness and brilliance, some actually being more red than lavender in 
tone. Late Autumn. 
Spray and Cluster Types 
#133 =- VANDA TATZERI (V. Tricolor x V. Sanderiana) - This seed nearly 100% viable 
and powder fine, so do not expect too much of it in a 2-flask packet. Tatzeri 
much sturdier and faster growing than straight V. Sanderiana. 
#134 - CYRTOPODIUM ANDERSONII - An extra fine variety of the "Cow's Horn Orchid", 
sending out large, many branched sprays of small, brilliant yellow blooms. Even 
in the flask the seedlings form their horn-like bulbs.
