UNFLOWERED CATTLEYA SEEDLINGS 
NUMBER 
2 LC. EMINENCE "Variety Outstanding'’ X C. AMABILIS 
42 
Large, well-formed flowers, carried on a spike bearing 
three to six bloom, was the aim in making this cross. 
Both parents are very productive; with a minimum of 
lighting control, season of bloom can be readily delayed 
until Christmas. These seedlings are rapid growers 
and should flower at an early age. Color will be a 
rich lavender with very dark lip. 
C. PEARL (C. Bobbie Jewell X C. Blanchley's Alba) 
Both of these parents are very fine specimens of the 
pure white type. They have a nice touch of yellow in 
the throat; both texture and size are excellent. Season 
is expected to be about September and on into the 
winter months.

ity exhibition flowers ever raised. Ble. Caligula var.

Helen Wilmer is also iarge and well shaped, but, in 
addition, is exceptionally dark. Both parents have large 
beautiful lips and superb texture. Season is expected
