RYERSON 1953 EXPANSIBLE ORCHID FOLDER - SEEDLINGS IN COMMUNITY POTS Page 4 
The following hybrid seedlings are well established and growing fine in their 
Communi ty Pots, but will not be large enough for individual pots until the 
middle of April. They are offered now for April shipment as Bare Root Seedlings. 
Order and pay for yours now so you will be assured of getting the selection you 
want. Bare Root seedlings in this stage still sell faster than any other, as 
many of you with crowded benches have room for only one or two seedlings of a 
CrOSSe 
"Bare Root" seedlings fly to you via Air Mail Prepaid, saving you that Express 
bill on pots, which run into weight, even if only 2inch size. Read, "LET'S 
TALK ABOUT BARE ROOT SEEDLINGS." Page E tells you how to pot them. 
#137 - C. IRIS -(C. BICOLOR X C. DOWIANA AUREA) This biefoliate hybrid produces 
groups of 4=inch to 6“inch green-yellow, heavy textured flowers with red-purple 
Isthmus type lips. Autumn. 
#138 - C. PITTIANA -~(C. Dowiena aurea x C. Granulosa) Somewhat larger flowers 
than the above; similar coloring except that many are flushed with red. One 
customer referred to this hybrid as "looking at Granulosa through rose colored 
glasses." 
#7 3« AR = BLO DAW ANGELA X LC GOVERNOR GORE - Both are "QUALITY" hybrids - the 
L oesttahieeatteatieestiiddtindemeteheatdeenenetaaeenedad 
type thet always command the dest positions and best prizes in flower shows. 
Winter. 
#492 - BLC DAWN ANGELA X LC SARGON X LC DIANA - This should be similar to the 
EU ER re | eR amt nC: 
above, probably with gold eyes at sides of throat. Late Winter-Spring. 
#597 = LC ) WESTWOOD X LC LUDGATE - Westwood is in bloom again as this goes to the 
printer, and no visitor can see anything else for looking at it. The blooms are 
so spectacularly big, crisp end glowing in color, with wide open form; rich plum 
purplo lip; it's small wonder a West Coast wholesaler calls it "Dark Beauty" for 
his florist trade. Ludgate had slightly lighter sepals and petals; Royal purple 
lip. Winter. 
#698 = LC DERRYNANE X LC LUDGATE - Derrynane, like Dawn Angela and Westwood, 
is always in demand by those who know their Orchid hybrids. The exceedingly 
dark, solid purple, broad and ruffled lip always looks like rich velvet. Cross 
should flower twice yearly, Fall end Spring. 
#703 = LC NORMANDIE ALBA -(Le Canhamiana alba x C. Maggie Raphael alba) - These 
White-Colored-Lip hybrids should start flowering in Late Winter and continue 
through Spring. Both are excellent producers and flower on many leads. 
#720 - BLC uC MARION RYERSON X LC DERRYNANE - Customers rave about what fast 
growers the Maricn Ryerson hybrids are, seeming to feel that anything with such 
a complicated background should be puny. I'm happy to report thet these hybrids 
not only are FAR FROM puny, but if you want a wide range of medium to very dark, 
round, bold, well held Ble's, you can't go wrong with this and the next two 
crosses. Varied season, as Ble Merion Ryerson flowers as rapidly as leads 
mature, several times per year, iS SraN 
#721 - BLC MARION RYERSON X LO SARGON X LC DIANA - More of these should be very 
ee meres = ee: 
dark than the above flowers, due to the influence of the unnamed hybrid. 
#722 = BC BEDELIA X BLC MARION RYERSON - Be Bedelia - an old AB ar having 
mothered Be Lois Ryerson, is & huge, wide open, rich rose “brasso"; one of the 
few that will consistently ripen a good, viable seed pod. Expect more bright 
rose blooms here than in either of the above crosses.
