Dendrobium Sunda Island 
(Typifies Dendrobium Hybrids of Groups II and III) 
HAWAIIAN DENDROBIUM HYBRIDS 
Of these, we can't say enough. Last year we 
shipped thousands of plants to almost every 
part of the world. We sincerely believe these 
are among the most satisfactory orchids an 
amateur can grow. They offer colors and types 
that cannot be duplicated in any other genus. 
The flowers last on the plant for weeks in per- 
fection. As a cut flower for either corsages or 
table arrangements they are unrivaled. 
Their culture is simple. They grow best in the 
Cattleya house or outside in the tropics. They 
like strong light. When they are in active 
growth water copiously, and fertilize regularly. 
Use any good fertilizer recommended for or- 
chids. After growth matures, reduce the water 
and fertilizer to harden the bulbs but do not dry 
severely as you would the species. Pot them 
in osmunda or Hawaiian tree fern as you would 
Cattleyas. 
Dendrobium hybrids are exceptionally fast- 
growing plants. Many of our customers write 
back that they are flowering them one year 
from the purchase of 142” pots. Our seedlings 
15 
are hard grown and we believe the equal of the 
best to be found anywhere in the world. Try a 
few, we know you will like them. 
For your convenience, and to help you better 
understand them, we are grouping them ac- 
cording to their principal characteristics. 
GROUP I—Dendrobium Hybrids 
This is a very large section and has been divided into 
subsections. Its main influence has been created by the 
use of Dend. | halaenopsis as a parent. The flowers 
are very large and shapely for the genus. They are 
occasionally affected by bud drop. This is caused by 
poor ventilation and high humidity. Create a better 
circulation of air, and dry out the atmosphere. They 
make excellent cut flowers. 
GROUP I-A—Dendrobium Hybrids 
These are the crosses bred for large, round flowers. 
Some of them show intense color. They make very fine 
exhibition plants. 
236—Lady Constance (Orchidwood x Phalaenopsis)—One 
of the most beautifully shaped hybrids. Round flowers of 
deep lavender purple. 1%” 1.50
