(Adastra X Nerissa, var. Peridot) X Miretta, Rogers var. 
The seed parent of this cross bears a long arching spray of well shaped, heavy 
textured, clear green flowers. The lips are generously spotted dark crimson. 
Though the second parent is a grand form of Miretta, it is perhaps better known 
throughout the Cymbidium world for having been judged the best seedling of 
the 1950 Santa Barbara Cymbidium Show. The breeding on Miretta is Claudette 
var. Invicta X Mirabel, AM. RHS. The expectancy is for some very worthwhile 
greens, though, as with most green crosses, some yellows can be expected. 
Erica Sander, Chartreuse X (Adastra X Nerissa var. Peridot ) 
This cross is identical to #1330. Please refer to this number for description. 
Ceres, var. F. J. Hanbury, FCC. RHS. X Monte Rosa, fine rose 
The expectancy here is for many worthwhile rose shades with some definitely to 
the red. Because of the breeding of Monte Rosa (Beaulieu X Charm var. Cendre 
de Rose) and its natural tendency to flower early, we have hopes that this cross 
will inherit some of that tendency. Ceres has contributed more to the breeding 
of the red shades in Cymbidiums than any other parent. Cym. Charm, which is 
one of the parents of Monte Rosa, is itself bred from Ceres X erythrostylum. 
Blue Smoke var. Calumet X Alexanderi, 
Westonbirt variety, FCC. RHS. 
We have the highest hopes for this cross and though we do have a sizeable 
block of seedlings to offer we strongly urge prompt ordering by those desiring 
plants. In predicting the expectancy here we believe that the breeding on Clare 
Armstrong is sufficiently similar to draw a comparison. Our expectancy is for a 
number of the lighter green shades, many greenish yellows and yellows and some 
whites. The lips on most can be expected to have the dark maroon bar of the 
Blue Smoke parent. Needless to say here the seedlings are grand growers. 
Doris-aurea var. F. J. Noonan X Sicily 
Due to the Sicily parent which is (Baldur X Grand Monarch) we expect this 
cross to be on the early side. We hesitate to say what the color will be though 
we do expect a great many shades of yellow and orange-yellow. There can also 
be some reddish shades. Doris-aurea should not be confused with Cym. Doris 
which is insigne X Traceyanum while Doris-aurea is Chiron X Lysander. 
Rosette, Lg. Bronze X Joy Sander var. Sirdar 
This cross should appeal to those who like a rich bronzy yellow cross. Both parents 
were yellow heavily overlaid with bronze. Both parents, too, had very dark ma- 
roon bands on the basal portions of their lips. 
BLUE SMOKE, Stewart Strain (Blue Smoke var. Calumet 
X Blue Smoke var. Pernod) 
Two of our very best forms of Blue Smoke were used to make a repeat on this 
famous green cross. The original parents of Blue Smoke were Lowianum, Pitts 
var. X Mirabel, AM. RHS. We believe that this cross will produce many greens 
comparable to the best Blue Smokes, in some cases perhaps even better. The 
growth here, as could be expected, is very strong. 
Lucy var. Goldcrest, AM. RHS. X Sicily, fine yellow 
We are continually beset with requests for seedlings bred with an early blooming 
expectancy and we have every hope that this cross will help to fill that need. 
The Lucy bears fine spikes of large bright chartreuse flowers, usually flowering 
in December. The large light yellow lips are generously dotted dark maroon. The 
Sicily is also noted as a fine early bloomer. The form of Sicily used here compares 
very favorably to the Lucy parent. Yellows and chartreuse colors are expected.
