#680 LC SARGON X BC MME. CHAS. MARON, DARK VAR. = Pollinated 5/31/50 = Sargon 
is a quality hybrid, having been used in making such grand new hybrids as Lc 
Oliver Lines, Le Miami, Le Red Oak. This bloom was an 8-inch, heavy textured, 
clear, dark lavender flower, with velvety Royal purple lip; two small yellow eyes 
at sides of throat. May. An unusually dark Mme. Charles, with rounder than the 
conventional brasso shape, was used as the pollen parent. The May bloom of this 
twice-yearly hybrid should help produce some fine Ble's.

#682 C. CHARLOTTE JONES X C. BOW BELLS = Pollinated 8/1/50. Like many others, 
I've had my troubles getting Bow Bells pollen to "take". Of all the Whites on 
which I tried it, the only one which could hold it was Charlotte Jones, one of 
three 6<inch Pure white blooms, well held and of crisp, heavy texture. The Ce 
Bow Bells was a very fine one, its 3-inch wide, heavy White petals overlapping 
the top sepal with characteristic round form. Should produce extra fine Pure 
White blooms for Late Summer through Early Autum.

#683 C. TRIANAE, EDGAR KNIGHT X SLC WINDSOR X SLC PRINCE HIROHITO = Pollinated 
3/6/50 - Sle's are gaining in popularity because they are the RED Orchids, bril- 
liant with the "hot" color so much in demand. The pollen parent was one of the 
reddest of the reds; smaller than the average Cattleya, but of vivid, striking, 
deep red color, Used on the famous trianae, Ed Knight, with solid crimson lip 
and throat and bold matching splashes on the wide, well formed petals, this 
should turn out a grand percentage of fine REDS, many with the Ed Knight dark 
triangles on petals.
