Name, Parentage and Description 
great many new Hybrids to its credit. Since our last 
writing a few of these Hybrids have bloomed. The 
season is early spring through late spring and the 
flowers are a remarkably clear white in sepals and 
petals with a very fine lip. Incidentally, this Hybrid 
is an excellent grower. 
C. Enid Alba (C. Mossiae “Reineckiana” Young’s 
Variety X C. Gigas “F.M.B.”) 
Any of the times we remake this Hybrid it is always 
with the same parents. You can purchase with this 
assurance. C. Enid Alba can be controlled by light 
to make it bloom for Easter and later which, of 
course, makes it a much more valuable Hybrid in 
the white colored lip class. We have had a number 
of plants blooming with over 25 flowers. These facts 
make this one of the most important Hybrids for 
both the amateur and commercial grower. 
C. Alesia (C. Mossiae “Reineckiana” Young’s Variety 
X C. Dionysius Alba No. 97) 
Here again we have a very fine Spring White with 
Colored Lip. We use a particular Dionysius Alba 
which has made some wonderful Hybrids for us. 
The famous C. Mossiae “Reineckiana” (Young’s 
Variety) is the other half of this cross. Season is 
May and June. We have bloomed several plants of 
this variety and also have a number in bud and 
through the past year they have grown very well. 
C. Marion Patterson (C. Marion Davies X C. Trianae 
“Broomhills Variety’’) 
The union of these two wonderful parents produces 
a White Hybrid which blooms during the months 
of March and April making it a very valuable 
Easter White. Blooms are of extremely firm texture 
and growth has been very strong through the seed- 
ling stage. The flowers are an excellent clear white 
with a minimum amount of yellow in the throat, are 
very large and from the first few plants which 
bloomed they are sure to be excellent producers. 
C. Evamay Patterson (C. Intertexta “Juliette” X 
C. Trianae “Broomhills Variety”) 
The crossing of these two Cattleyas has brought 
about a fine new Hybrid which is well shaped, large 
sized, excellent in texture and a strong grower. 
The most important asset of this new White Cat- 
tleya is the fact that it blooms during early Spring 
through Easter. We have bloomed a number of 
plants of this variety and they have certainly come 
up to our expectations. 
C. Catherine Patterson (C. Enid Alba X XXX Best X 
C. Mrs. Frederick Knollys) 
The fine growing character of both these crosses 
makes an excellent Winter White Colored Lip. Both 
parents are extremely large flowers with very fine 
lips. Both parents always bloom during January, 
February and March, making this particular cross 
excellent material to fill a great need for White 
Colored Lip for the Easter market. The number of 
flowers which have bloomed so far have been a 
great deal like Enid although they are very much 
improved Enids, having a much hardier flower of 
great size and texture.
