RYERSON 1951 EXPANSIBLE ORCHID FOLDER ORCHID SEED Page 13. 
(Supplement to SEED LISTS on Pages 2,3 & 4) 
The following fine hybrid crosses of Orchid Seed have been examined and tested 
for viability. On pages 3 and 4 are three more erosses which have been harvested 
since last month's report. They are numbers 689, 690 and 695. I'm sorry to report 
that all three were rather low in viability and my advance orders practically ex- 
hausted the supply, so unless you order them promptly after receiving this report, 
please mark them "All Sold." 
All the following have a good percentage of viability. 
#697 LC WESTWOOD X LC LUDGATE - This cross should produce top quality, large, 
dark blooms, with grand bold form and very heavy substance. The Le Westwood was a 
92" bloom with 3" petal widthe The lower half of the wide open, ruffled lip was 
rich plum purple, topped by maroon and gold veining; bright gold zone circling the 
throate Le Ludgate, like its parents, Princess Margaret and Queen Mary, was a 
bright, well held bloom with Royal Purple lip. Winter season.

#698 LC DERRYNANE X LC LUDGATE - Princess Margaret again shows her influence in 
Derrynane, one of the newer hybrids that has proved immensely popular due to the 
wonderful form and rich coloring. It has a striking, dark, velvety purple lip and 
throate Ludgate is described above.

#699 LC DERRYNANE X LC JOAN MADDISON - Joan Maddison, a Black & Flory hybrid, is a 
cross of Le Queen Mary and C. Gloriette. Exceedingly large rose-lavender, with 
brilliant lip and gold eyes, it usually flowers twice yearly.

#700 C. FRED SANDER X BLC DAWN ANGELA VAR. MAGNIFICA = The pod parent was one of 
three 7$-inch pinkelavender blooms on the stem; lip, bright rose-fuschia, edged 
delicate pink. Top part of lip and all the throat were solid gold. The pollen 
parent was one of the finest varieties of Ble Dawn Angela, and should lend 
brilliance, substance and bold form to the cross. Varied season, Fall through 
Spring.

#701 LC THURGOODIANA X LC PAGE PIATT X C. DOWIANA AUREA - While Dowiana may 
influence many of these to be Summer blooming, I'm hoping the twice-yearly tendency 
of Thurgoodiana x Page Platt also will influence a good percentage of this fine, 
YELLOW crosse Lips should be vivid crimson-purple, veined gold at the top.

#702 BLC YELLOW HAMMER x C. EUCHARIS X BLC YELLOW HAMMER x C. WHITE EMPRESS 
Maybe, as some have said, this was a stupid cross, for I'll grant that both parents 
were more cream-colored than yellow. However, my experience with plant breeding 
leads me to believe the rich, golden BLC YELLOW HAMMER influence will shine forth 
in a good percentage of the next generation. I expect many to be really grand 
Winter YELLOWS with vivid red lips. Because of the grand shape and heavy texture, 
there will be demand also for the white to cream with colored lips.
