GENEOLOGY CHART SHOWING ANCESTRY OF BLC MARION RYERSON 
3] 4 
& 
TL | 
I first offered seedlings of this grand Ble hybrid in commmity pots and in individual 2-inch™pots~in 1946. 5A 
little over a year ago the first of those that stayed home started coming into bloom. While there was wider 
variation in coloring than anticipated....although there is always variation in the individual plants of such a 
complicated cross....so far, I have not seen a poor bloom on any Ble Marion Ryerson. Many, such as that 
pictured here, have been really outstanding as to fom, texture and brilliant coloring. 
The bloom in the picture has the Le Linnaeus T. Savage lip coloring, with the heavy ruffling favoring the Be 
Hartland. Some have almost white S & P with this brilliant lip. Others are more solidly one color, from light 
rose-lavender to deep red-plum. For us, the plants have the twice yearly blooming habit, Winter and Summer. 
Will any of you who have bought my #66 seedlings back in '46, '47 and '48 please report on how they have bloomed 
for you? I shail be most interested in hearing about them.
