RYERSON 1951 EXPANSIBLE ORCHID FOLDER ORCHID SEED Page 20 
(Supplement to SEED LISTS pages 13, 14, 16) 
#718 - BC LOIS RYERSON X SUC TORTOLA - The rather dim likeness of Be Lois 
Ryerson on the cover of your Folder will at least give you an idea of the form. 
The color was darker and the lip rich red-purple, edged light. Crossed with 
Sle Tortola, this will make a Potinara hybrid. The Sle was a wide open, large, 
strikingly brilliant bloom; lip deep, glowing, red-purple, edged lighter. 
Color swept up to the top of the open lip, encircling a large gold zone.

#720 - LC DERRYNANE X BLC MARION RYERSON = Derrynane is described on Page 13, 
#698. The Bic Marion Ryerson was almost identical with the one in the picture; 
brilliant, dark, wide open lip; cerise deepening into dark, velvety red, with 
gold=veined throat. Both parents had perfect form and texture. Both bloom 
twice yearly. These were Winter blooms.

#721 - BLC MARION RYERSON X LC SARGON x LC DIANA - This should be even darker 
than the above as the pollen parent was darker than Derrynane.

#722 = BC BEDELIA X BLC MARION RYERSON = This cross should produce more of the 
lighter rose-lavender blooms, but of the same grand, round form and heavy tex- 
ture. Bc Bedelia is the pod parent of Be Lois Ryerson -= the best of the 
brassos for bearing viable seed pods.

#726 - LC CALLISTOGLOSSA X C. OLD FORESTER - Both these flowers were very large 
and showy, particularly Old Forester, which was one of the handsomest of this 
very satisfactory hybrid -- the lip big and very ruffled, dark, velvety crimson 
purple, in rich contrast to the lighter, rose-lavender sepals and petals.

#727 - BC MRS. J. LEEMAN X BC HARTLAND - While this seed is low in percentage 
of viability, the good seed is very strong and I will allow generous size 
packets, for many have been requesting good Brasso crosses and this should pro- 
duce a wide variety of Brasso blooms, from pale yellow, tinged pink-lavender to 
rich red plum like Hartland. Grand form, many bloom twice yearly.

#728 = C. ALWYNII ALBA X LC PARIZADE ALBA - The pod parent is a very fine, 
free-flowering White-Colored-Lip hybrid of grand bold form and wide petals sim- 
ilar to famous Enid Alba, but with solid, dark fuschia lip edged with dainty 
white ruffle. A really striking alba. Pollen parent described on Page 16, 
#711. Should be grand for wedding month blooms. Early Summer.

#732 - LC WESTWOOD X BLC MARION RYERSON - This pod just cracked in time to make 
the listing, and the seed looks like the most highly viable of any Ble seed I 
have ripened to date, Not only that, but I consider it the BEST of the Marion 
Ryerson crossese Le Westwood was so big, bold, dark and heavy textured, visi- 
tors could hardly refrain from touching it to see if it was real. The Marion 
Ryerson used was a dark, ruffly lipped Brasso, favoring its Be Hartland parent, 
which "ain't bad" Both were "Happy New Year!" blooms, helping us celebrate.
