#733 = C. LAOMEDON X BLC MARION RYERSON = This was one of the bright rose-lavender 
Marion Ryersons, with perfect round shape; crisp, heavy texture; frilled, broad 
lip. Lots of maroon veined gold in lip and throat. The C. Laoedon was also a 
light pink-lavender, very heavy textured. Three-inch petals overlapped wide top 
sepal. Fuchsia fan in lip. Winter. 
#734 - C. REMY CHOLLET x LC ST. GEORGE X BLC MARION RYERSON + The un-named hybrid 
bearing the pod was very large, brilliant and showy; \ vivid red-purple lip; heavy 
substance. An equally dark Marion Ryerson provided the pollen. Winter. 
#735 - C. MOSSIAE, WAG. x C. MINNEHAHA X C. DUSS ELDORFII x BC EMPRESS OF RUSSIA - 
Bxoeed ingly fine, heavy textured White Brassos for spr Spring. The pollen parent was 
one of the most unusual brassos I have seen; Pure White, heavy, with broad petals 
and sepals, boldly open. Lemon yellow back of lip. 
#736 = LC WALTER WINCHELL X C. OLD FORESTER - Both blooms had medium rose-lavender 
S & P; heavy textured end well held. Lower half of Winchell's lip was brilliant 
red-fuchsia, as though dipped in bright dye. Old Forester's lip was very dark red, 
almost maroon, very waved and frilly, like folded velvet. Winter. 
#737 - LC GWEN SANDER XC. TRIANAE, EDGAR KNIGHT - We crossed trianae, Edgar 
Knight with Gwen Sander because of simisarity in coloring. The Sander hybrid was 
a striking, vivid, dark bloom with brilliant solid crimson=purple lip and throat; 
matching bands of the same bright color on the petals. Spring. 
#738 - C. FLORENCE PATTERSON X ic WELLSIANA ALBA x B. DIGBYANA - This is another 
Spring brasso cross, the pollen parent having very large, fringed lip with just a 
dot of color in the center of it. 
#740 - LC TRIANON X LC SERBIA - The Trianon does not have the round shape so pop- 
ular at present, but is a striking bloom of the star shape, with dusky rose S & P 
and the darkest lip I've seen to date, with very narrow edging of the lighter col- 
ore Le Serbia has rounder shape and lip almost as dark and velvety. Winter. 
#741 = C. ISORA NADALINI X BLC IRENE x LC CROWBOROUGH - This pink-lavender Isora 
Nadalini had grand shape end very heavy texture, a wide-open, well-held bloom. 
Fuchsia fan in lip; gold throat. The Ble hybrid has a very beautiful, ruffled, 
velvety lip, edged lighter to match pinkish petals. Good Winter Blc's should 
result. 
#742 = C. MOSSIAE, REIN. X C. BRUSSELLS ALBA ~ Fine White-Colored Lip for Easter. 
#743 = C. OLD FORESTER X C. TRIANAE VAR. VALENTINE SARRA - This trianae had 3-inch 
petals. With Old Forester's very dark, very ‘broad end ruffled lip, should be fine. 
#744 - C.S.E. ENDICOTT x C. WHITE EMPRESS X LC WELLSIANA ALBA x B. DIGBYANA - 
Another fine White Brasso type cross.
