DENDROBIUM 
D. Superbum 
This is possibly the finest and best 
of all the deciduous Dendrobium species. 
It is also the easiest to flower as it 
does not require the cool rest that is 
so necessary to Nobile and its ilk. It 
needs to dry off, rest and defoliate be- 
fore blooming, but it can be grown 
easily and blooms regularly here in 
South Florida and anywhere along with 
cattleyas under the same conditions 
they require. 
Plants 6”-8” long in 3” pots............ $5.00 
Plants 16”-20” long in 5” pots........ $15.00 
There are many fine dark varieties 
and one superb pure white. Dendrobium 
superbum var. Dearei (pure white). 
Plants 6”-8” long in 3” pots $7.50 
Plants 24”-30" long in 5” pots........ $25.00 
D. superbum has been crossed with a 
number of other deciduous Dendrobes 
and its hybrid with D. Pierardii is very 
showy. 
Plants 10”-12” long in 8” pots......$7.50 
D. Ainesworthii—This hybrid between 
D. heterocarpum and D. nobile deserves 
to be grown with every cattleya collec- 
tion. The flowers are large and showy, 
the plant is strong growing, each bulb 
blooms several years and the flowers 
are borne from the nodes on spikes of 
from 3 to 7 blooms. It is easily flow- 
ered under treatment such as is recom- 
mended for D. Superbum. It is widely 
used as a parent and we have the fol- 
lowing hybrid: 
R-193—D. Ainesworthiae x D. Thwaite- 
siae, strong growing, should be showy 
and easily bloomed plants 6” - 8” tall in

and night temperatures of 45 degrees 
to 50 degrees at that time are ideal.
