LC. CANHAMIANA, ALBERTS’ VARIETY 
The plant of Le. Canhamiana, Alberts’ variety is unusually robust, bears large 
flowers every spring, medium dark lavender with a very large, intensely dark lip. 
Alberts’ variety is not to be confused with our previous strain of Lc. Canhamiana alba. 
In 1920 we grew about 2000 plants of Lc. Canhamiana from seed. At that time 
they were considered above average, but lacked shape that would meet present-day 
requirements. Anticipating this, we chose seven of the most outstanding plants, all 
of which were large and of good shape with fine flowers similar to the glorious dark 
flowers of fall hybrids. Out of the seven, six proved absolutely worthless for breeding, 
and the seedlings were discarded upon maturity. However, the seventh plant yielded 
such excellent results that it was tested again on three different crosses and again 
the results were outstanding. This particular parent is Le. Canhamiana, Alberts’ 
variety. The record for flowers, so far, is 28 large blossoms on one Lc. Nellie Cohen 
in a 7” pot, one of the above crosses. 
In recent years we have used Le. Canhamiana, Alberts’ variety as a parent breeder. 
Regardless of the other parents used, the offspring flower late March, April and May. 
They are robust growers and free-flowering upon maturity. We are offering these with 
every confidence that the results will be among the finest of the modern spring 
flowering hybrids.
