BENNEDEL SS. ORCH TD CATALOGUE 
DENDROBIUMS 
(Continued from Page 1) 
last plants are often furnished 
with short black hairs near the 
nodes. 
There are many hybrid Den- 
drobiums but with very few ex- 
ceptions plants can only be. cross- 
ed with other plants belonging in 
the same group. 
Dendrobiums are sun lovers 
and many types will take full tro- 
pical sun the year round. Here at 
the Orchid Jungle we are greatly 
interested in Dendrobiums. We 
have thousands of them belong- 
ing to dozens of different species 
and hybrids. 
We believe Dendrobiums have 
a great‘future in our American 
Orchid Collections and we or- 
chidists have only started with 
the hybridization of them. 
There’s never a day that we 
have less than twelve or fifteen 
different Dendrobium hybrids or 
species in bloom in the Orchid 
Jungle. Today I noticed the fol- 
lowing: Several large and beau- 
tiful plants of the bright yellow 
D. Densiflorum; some fine spe- 
cimen plants of the bright orange 
D. Fimbriatum var. Occulatum; 
six or eight of the exquisite blush 
pink and yellow D. Farmeri; the 
pure white D. Nobile, var. Vir- 
ginalis; an immense D. Nobile 
with over 300 flowers, the stately 
hybrid D. Sander’s Crimson; the 
brilliant purple D. Phalaenopsis 
Dixon’s variety and the pure 
white D. Phalaenopsis var. Mau- 
na Kea. There are also large 
plants of D. Pierardii and _ its 
beautiful hybrid D. Adrasta, each 
with a dozen or more gracefully 
drooping stems covered with lav- 
ender flowers —but of all these 
Plants probably my favorite is 
the rare and very beautiful pure 
white D. Superbum var. Dearei. 
If you want something to add 
zest and accent to your orchid 
collection, don’t overlook the Den- 
drobiums—they’re gorgeous, easi- 
ly grown and free flowering.
