SPECIAL OFFERING OF HYBRID: DENDROBIUMS 
These plants are off<shoots (vegetative growths) cut from a collection of espec- 
dally fine, hybrid Dendrobiums that originally came from Stuart Low Company in 
England. 
They are not individually labelled. If they were, they would command two or 
three times the price I'm asking. One of the largest commercial growers of cut 
flowers owns the parent plants. Names are not importent to him, so long as the 
blooms are salable. These hybrids produce readily salable cut flowers, or the 
plants would have been culled, years ago. 
Colors range from blush white with rose tipped petals, orange disc in lip; to 
dark rosy red, crimson=purple lip. There are many yellow and peach shades, with 
velvety brown dise in lip. Groups of 2-inch to 4-inch flowers bloom from the 
nodes, usually after the plant has been dormant awhile, dropping its leaves. 
It is rather difficult in South Florida climate to give these "cool house" den- 
drobs the cooling and drying they need to force them into bloom. Otherwise, I'd 
be tempted to keep everyone of them until after it has flowered, a year from 
now, when they should be worth from $10 to $15 each and many would not be for 
sale at all, but be kept for further hybridizing. 
Typical of the hybrids in this group are: D. AUSTINIT, D. CEYLON DELIGHT, D. 
CEYLON RADIANCE, D. CROWBOROUGH, D. PAY, D. WELANDISCUS,“D. PERES, 0. OTHBLLO, 
COLEMANS VAR. and D. ELEGANCE.
