A McLELLAN COMMUNITY POT 
MeSellan Communities 
Our 3” community pots of cattleyas are planted with 20 or 
more seedlings, but our communities of odontoglossums will 
have 10 or more seedlings from transplanted flasks. All are 
about ready to be shifted to thumb pots (1%”’), and are sturdy, 
vigorous-growing stock. 
The accurate description of the flower of both parents used 
in the crosses will help you to make your selections. 
Some of the crosses listed below will be available as com- 
munities for a limited time only. On orders placed for lower 
cross numbers after July 1, 1951, we suggest you write us to 
check on availability and avoid disappointment, or give us the 
permission to substitute similar crosses.
