Name, Parentage and Description 
C. Enid Alba (C. Mossiae “Reineckiana” Young’s Variety X C. 
Gigas “F.M.B.”) 
Earlier buyers of this old cross remade with iden- 
tical parents have been most anxious to enlarge 
their stock of this great Hybrid. Strangely enough 
all of our earlier batch blooms in January, February 
and March. The flowers are large, well shaped and 
they are paper white in sepals and petals. The lips 
are large and very interesting. 
Le. Bou Philippo (Le. Windermere X C. Mossiae 
“R.E. Patterson’) 
This is a repeat cross of which we have bloomed 
three other crosses with the identical parents. We 
are very certain the results again will be as before. 
The flowers fill a great need for exceptional Hybrids 
for the Spring season; a season which, at the pres- 
ent time, is devoid of quality Hybrids in quantity. 
Le. Arthur Miles (Le. Sagana “Easter Variety” X C. 
Mossiae “R.E. Patterson’’) 
Please refer to No. 564 for description. 
Le. Bou Philippo (Le. Windermere “A.M.” Var. X C. 
Mossiae “Oliver Lines’’) 
For several years we have been blooming this par- 
ticular cross under our No. 285 and we have had 
some very excellent types. One of the main reasons 
for the great value in this cross is its particular 
season; we have always cut a great number of 
flowers for Easter. It can be handled a good deal 
like Mossiae and its grand performance as far as 
season, quantity of flowers and fine growing quali- 
ties are concerned, has prompted us to remake this 
cross again and again. To date it has been one of 
our finest type Mossiae Hybrids. We repeat this 
cross with the identical parents which made No. 285. 
Ble. Sherman Billingsley (Ble. Eva Patterson X C. 
Belgica “A.M.” Variety) 
Our quest here is for fine Hybrids for December 
and January covering the Holiday season of the 
year. Both parents are very strong growers. Flowers 
should also be very large. The C. Belgica which 
was used received an award at the A.O.S. meeting 
in December 1947. We have bloomed a few of these 
plants and they have certainly come up to our 
expectations.

Le. Ray Bolger (Le. Windermere “A.M.” X C. Enid XX XX) 
We have remade this cross with identical parents 
as our earlier batch has been so very satisfactory. 
The flowers of the previous batch were large, dark 
and well shaped, and texture was very good. The 
plant is a very strong grower.
