RYERSON 1950 EXPANSIBLE ORCHID FOLDER - SEEDLINGS IN INDIVIDUAL Pots Page 17 
The following husky seedlings are firmly established in new 3-inch orchid pots, 
and are being regularly fed Ryerson's Orchid Food so that new leads are starting 
and root growth is excellent. If they continue to receive the same care, many 
of these seedlings will send out their first bloom sheathes in another year. 
None should require shifting to the next size pot for a year.

#301 - C. TRENTINO X C. MOSSIAE, WAGNERII - One constant problem faced by 
hybridizers is to give the pure white hybrids the heaviness of texture they need 
to avoid that “transparent look". C. Trentino, a cross of C, Undine and C. 
Warneri alba, had that extremely heavy texture, with bold, well rounded shape. 
Crossed with Mossiae, Wagnerii, it should produce fine, boldly held Whites. Most 
should be Spring blooming, with accent on Easter Season. 
#302 - C. C. ARDMORE ALBA « A cross of Mossiae, Reineckiana and Enid Alba, this is 
an excellent large, well-held White-Colored=Lip hybrid for Easter Season. Like 
the Enid Alba parent, it often is known to bloom twice or more yearly. 
#303 ~ LC ETHEL MERMEN - A cross of Le Jane Dane and Le Canhamiana alba, this 
is inclined to have the floriferous qualities and striking crimson lip of 
"Canham" with the improved shape of Jane Dane. A very fine White-Colored-Lip 
hybrid for Feb. through Apr. season. 
#304 = C. HARDYANA ALBA X LC JANE DANE = Autumn season was the aim in this 
White-Colored-Lip hybrid. Many will have the purple and gold veined throat. 
#305 - LC LOUELLA PARSONS - Jane Dane, crossed this time with Gigas, FMB, should 
turn out fine White-Colored-Lip blooms for the Winter Season. 
#306 = C. LADY VEITCH X C. EMILY SHILL ALBA - This cross of two well known 
pure white hybrids should result in fine production of Winter Whites. 
#307 - LC HERTHA X C. BELGICA = Should produce fine, large, dark shades of 
lavender, with rich purple lips for Winter season, 
#308 ~ LC ALTESSE X C. MAHOPAC + Dark, showy blooms for Nov.-Dec. Season. 
#309 ~ C. TREDA X C. MOSSIAE = Good production of bright, well held blooms 
for Easter Season should result. 
#310 - LC HELEN WILMER X C. MOSSIAE = Helen Wilmer has fostered some grand 
new hybrids of excellent color, shape and texture; vivid mauve with wide, 
ruffled lip; gold veins extending up into throat. Late Winter and Spring. 
#311 - LC ALTEN = Cross of Altesse and Enid, this should bloom vivid, showy 
and fragrant flowers. Season would varye 
#312 - LC WALTER WINCHELL - This relatively new hybrid cross of C. Tappan and 
Le Dupresan has proved exceptionally fine as a producer of extra-large, 
brilliantly dark and well-shaped flowers. Season varies but principally Late 
Winter and Spring.
