RYERSON 1951 BXPANSIBLE ORCHID FOLDER - HYBRID BACK BULB CUTTINGS Page 18 
If you want your share of back bulbs from top quelity Hybrids, please do not 
delay in ordering. There are never sufficient really good back bulbs to keep 
pace with the demand for them. 
More and more Orchid growers are discovering how simple and economical it is 
to increase their stocks of fine, blooming size Orchid plants via the back 
bulb route. 
If you have never tried to propagate back bulb cuttings, read "Let's Talk 
About Back Bulb Propagation", Page J. 
While every cutting is labelled with the correct hybrid name, it is impractical 
to compile the same type of listings used for the sale of mature plants or seed- 
lings. The reason is simple: back bulbs are acquired as the mature plants from 
which they are teken need repotting. Not all plants of any given hybrid will 
bloom simulteneously. Neither do all of them have back bulbs which should be 
removed. It follows that, among 500 Hybrid Back Bulb Cuttings, not more than 
three to five will be hybrids of the same name. 
Moreover, it is wise to sell these cuttings practically as rapidly as they accumu- 
late, for they cannot be kept in their unrooted, dormant stage indefinitely. Thus 
any listings would need changing constantly, as cuttings are sold and replaced by 
others. 
Therefore, while I will do my best to send you a good assortment, the actual 
selection of your cuttings will have to be left to my judgment. 
Each cutting has one or more live eyes: each is tagged with its correct name>» 
All are husky Cattleya, Ic, Be or Ble hybrids, and if you follow instructions, 
you should be successful in starting every one of them. Most should bloom in 
two years. But, as I will have no personal control over your methods of hand- 
ling the cuttings, I can make no positive guarantee as to how well they will 
perform for you.
