Bc. CLARA ALBERTS 
Parent No. 988 
920 C. Ruby x Cattleya A. J. Ruck—Spring and summer. C. Ruby has the darkest 
972] 
maroon sepals and petals and labellum one could imagine. It has flowered 
with us twice a year in December and July for seven years. The parentage is 
unknown as it was raised in a batch of seedlings from which the label was 
lost. We have crossed this with the very dark A. J. Ruck. The flowering 
season could vary, but should be predominantly late spring and early summer.

C. Kathleen (C. Snowsong #8 x C. Lady Joan var. Model)—Fall to winter. 
C. Snowsong #8 is one of those gems of the albino crosses that gives ex- 
tremely heavy texture and free-flowering characteristics seidom seen in white. 
As high as 8 and 10 flowers to a spray averaging 4 to 5 inches across. 
Flowers have deep yellow eyes with snow-white glistening sepals and petals. 
The C. Lady Joan var. Model is a fine shaped flower taken from this well- 
known Christmas-flowering white. The combination should give medium- 
sized white flowers of heavy texture with a freedom of bloom and a good 
season.
