O70 at bye CAS Je RUCK. spring and summer 
C. Ruby has the darkest maroon sepals and petals and labellum one could imagine. It 
flowers with us twice a year in December and July. It has flowered biannually at these 
times for six years. The parentage is unknown as it was raised in a batch of seedlings 
from which the label was lost. We have crossed this with the very dark A. J. Ruck. (See 
page 3 for a color picture of the latter. The flowering season of this hybrid could be 
various but should be predominantly in the late Spring and early Summer.

787 C. BALLANTINEANA var. Alberts x Lc. FLORIDA (Lc. Red Oak 
x Le. Sargon)—Fall 
Lc. Florida is one of the finest Fall Hybrids ever flowered. Flowers are large with very 
dark sepals and petals with a velvet ruby lip. Texture of the flowers is superb. This 
combined with C. Ballantineana var. Alberts will make a superior Fall hybrid. It should 
have the charateristic of making two growths a year which will flower separately and 
thereby spread the season from August through December. (See picture of C. Ballantineana 
var. Alberts on page 9.)
