(Supplement to lists on Pages 2, 3 & 4, cont'd.) 
#703 LC NORMANDIE ALBA (Lo Canhamiana alba x C. Maggie Raphael alba) - This croas 
is expected to produce some fine White-Colored-Lip blooms for Winter through 
Spring. The Canham-alba was one of five 7-inch blooms on the stoem....crisp White 
S & P and large, crimson-purple lips. Maggie Raphael alba had the Dowiana gold 
veins in the throat. Its Winter season should help extend the blooming period of 
the progeny.

#675 C. REMY CHOLLET, PIERRE'S VARIETY X BC HARTLAND - Brassos are so tricky, 
usually producing seed that is low in viability, so when I get a really good one 
like this, I make several flaskings of it. The most recent one was every bit as 
successful as the first, which made me decide to re-offer the seed. Pierre 
Chollet produced the extra-fine, dark Remy Chollet. If you've been on my Mailing 
List long, you're thoroughly familiar with twice-yearly Bo Hartland, the largest, 
darkest and most productive Brasso I've ever met. It is one of the parents of 
Ble Marion Ryerson....the fine hybrid many of you bought in seedling stage some 
years ago. I'd like to hear reports from all of you who have bloomed Ble Marion 
Ryerson (Le Linnaeus T. Savage X Be Hartland). It was my #66-I.

#704 C. SUPERBA X POTINARA ETHEL WARD - One way to produce viable Sle or Potinara 
seed is to let a good, strong species carry the pod. C. Superba was such a parent, 
so the seed tests 50%, which is excellent for a Potinara. Superba is a flat, 
tailored, star-shaped bloom in which the sepals are as wide as the petals. This 
one was five inches across and solidly crimson colored. Texture is unusually 
heavy and crisp...ewith excellent keeping qualities. Ethel Ward is a Black & 
Flory cross of Ble Ishbel X Sle Prince Hirohito, with the rich "hot color" for 
which Potinara and Slo crosses are noted. Some fine Winter and Spring REDS 
should result.

#136 CYNOCHES CHLOROCHILUM X SELF - This "Swan Orchid" seed is nearly 100% viable, 
and if you have all the Cattleya types you want, why not plan to amaze your fon- 
Orchidist friends with some of these? The swan-like flowers bloom right out of 
the sides of the stalky, club-like bulbs. About four inches in width, the waxy, 
greenish white blooms bear a perfect swan in the center of each. They make charm- 
ing, tailored type corsages for adorning a suit, or milady's hair. Varied season, 
mostly Winter.

I have seed of many oddities in the Orchid family....too many varieties and of too 
limited appeal for general listing. If interested, ask for special listing. 
Special quotations will be given on wholesale orders of seed. 
Introductory SEED AND BOTTLE OFFER on earlier seed list still 
applies. If you've never tried flasking, that's one way of 
accomplishing it without too many chances of error.
