FENNELL’S 
ORCHID SEED LIST 
No, 311 — C. Judah aurea x C. Dowiana 
aurea — Judah aurea is one of our best 
yellow hybrids while the C. Dowiana 
aurea is a very fine one with brilliant 
yellow sepals and petals and a dark red 
and gold lip. This should be fine. 
No. 312 — C. Celia x C. St. Petersburg. 
Celia is medium sized, pure white,heavy 
textured and bears several flowers per 
spike while the St. Petersburg is larger 
pure white and very free flowering. 
No. 313 — (C. Nutley alba x Lc. Mab) 
x (C. Jane Dane x C. Hardyana alba) 
Both parents very fine white with col- 
ored lip hybrids. Strong growing, free 
flowering. 
No. 315 — C. Whitlock Fennell x C. St. 
Petersburg — This is an interesting and 
promising experimental cross. We ex- 
pect to get medium to dark flowers and 
very strong growing, free flowering 
plants. 
No. 316 — (Lie. G. S. Ball x C. Schro- 
derae) x Be. Daftv'dil— This should 
make a light, bright pure yellow heavy 
textured flower. Probably medium sized 
tho there should be quite a wide vari- 
ation in size and color in this cross. 
No. 317 — C. Gigas Fennell’s var. x C. 
Mossiae fine dark — This should make 
a very fine C. Enid. We have used C.

previous Enid crosses all of which have 
been large flowered, dark and strong 
growing. 
No. 318 —C. Gigas Fennell’s var. x (C. 
Windermere x C. Trimos) This should 
make a very dark, large, free flowering 
Cattleya of show quality. The C. Gigas

parent while the Windermere x Trimos 
cross is one of the heaviest textured, 
best shaped, darkest colored Cattleyas 
we have.

x L. tenebrosa — This should produce 
some very dark medium sized flowers.

A report

Le. purpurata I Le. Canhamiana. I plant-

Some dark and some light. I am proud 
of these plants asI knew nothing about 
growing orchids from seed. 
About three years ago I bought a 
green house. 14x17 feet. And like 
every one else the house is now full and 
I am thinking of more glass. Am send- 
ing an order for a packet of seed, your

Dear Mr. Fennell: 
I was down at the “Orchid Jungle” 
about a year ago and bought this big 
orchid plant. It had four blooms at the 
time. After I got home the orch:d plant 
bloomed again and had three more 
blooms on it. 
This June it bloomed again and had 
ten large blooms. It is orchid with a red 
Soe, Ose ible). 25

OUR ORCHIDS SPEAK 
We have a very fine collection of 
Kodachrome 35mm slides of our or- 
chids, Vandas, Renantheras, Phalaenop- 
sis, Cattleyas, Dendrobiums, and many 
other rare and unusual orchids, which 
we loan to Orchid Societies, Garden 
Clubs, and any other interested groups. 
The pictures are accompanied by a 
tpyewritten description of the plants, 
where they come from, how they are 
grown, etc. 
These slidescan easily be projected 
by any good 35mm slide projector. If 
you want to show these pictures to your 
group, write us, giving us a choice of 
dates if possible and we will send them 
to you. Your only cost—the cost of 
transportation back to us.

in the case we disinfect the case 
by spraying it with a small Flt 
gun and some of the Calcium hy- 
pochlorite solution. We wear rub- 
ber gloves during the operation 
to protect our hands and arnis 
from burns. After putting on the 
sloves we disinfect them by wash- 
ing with the Calcium hypochlorite 
solution. It is important that all 
instruments and even the air in 
the case shall be disinfected, 
otherwise you are likely to have 
contaminated flasks. 
This is a simple and easy 
technique but it must be perfected 
to assure clean flasks. Study it 
carefully and be sure to keep evy- 
erything sterile.
