+1527 Esmeralda, AM., RHS, X 
Babylon, Castle Hill var., FCC., RHS. 
We are frank to say that we find it difficult to closely predict 
the outcome of this cross though we are confident of many 
striking and beautiful things. The Esmeralda parent is espe- 
cially noteworthy for its clearness of coloring. Though the 
Babylon parent can be expected to impart its large, shapely 
lip to a great many forms, a number can be expected to have 
very restrained lip markings of the Esmeralda parent. If we 
have to predict a definite color we would say, most forms will 
be various shades of pink overlying light yellows, peaches, 
creams, and similar colored undertones. 
+1530 Rosette +4005 X 
Babylon, Castle Hill var., FCC., RHS. 
We expect this cross to be comparable to Cymbidium Tinsel. 
Where Pearl var. Magnificum, FCC., RHS., was crossed with 
Babylon, Castle Hill var., FCC., RHS., to make Cymbidium 
Tinsel, we selected the finest form of Rosette that has come to 
our attention. Rosette is bred from Pearl var. Magnificum, 
FCC., RHS. This lovely variety has large flowers of fine shape. 
Sepals and petals are iridescent lemon green. The shapely lip 
of this variety is attractively banded with small dark crimson 
dots along its margin. Especially worthy of mention here is 
the outstanding erect spike habit of this variety. The flowers 
are well spaced and carried to maximum advantage on the stem. 
#1531 Cambria “Almyra” X 
Babylon “Castle Hill,” FCC., RHS. 
This cross gives as great a promise for many new and unusual 
color combinations as any cross we offer. Due to the fact that 
Cambria has a considerable amount of red blood, pink tones 
can be expected to be a part of any color combination. 
D.P. 1 Spartan Queen X 
Babylon “Castle Hill,” FCC., RHS. 
One of the very finest rose reds was used with Castle Hill for 
this cross.

“Famous 
Parent’ 
"Srica Sander’ RIO 
D.P. 6 Erica Sander “Bowman” X 
Esmeralda, AM., RHS. 
Both parents used here are famous for imparting clear color 
and many flowers on long arching stems. The Erica Sander 
used was the “best green” in the 1951 Santa Barbara Cym- 
bidium Show. This cross may have a tendency to be on the 
early side. 
Available in $3.00 and $5.00 Sizes 
D.P.9 Shina Black, clear chartreuse variety X 
Erica Sander “Bowman” 
Here the famous Erica Sander “Bowman” has been used with 
a clear colored Shina Black. 
Available in $3.00, $5.00, and $7.50 Sizes 
D.P. 37 Erica Sander X Miretta “Glendessary” 
The Miretta “Glendessary” used here was awarded first prize 
in the 1950 Santa Barbara Cymbidium Show as the most out- 
standing seedling of the show for that year. We have used 
this fine plant a number of times in our breeding program be- 
cause of its large size, clear coloring, and other highly desirable 
qualities. The color range of this cross could run from clear 
yellows through to light greens. 
Available in $3.00, $5.00, and $7.50 Sizes 
Pedigrueed New Green Crosses 
D.P.21 Woodhamsianum concolor X Adarissa 
Yellows through to light green can be expected. Some varieties 
will have the concolor lip of the Woodhamsianum parent. 
Many unusual and interesting lip markings can be expected. 
Seedlings are very sturdy growers. 
Available in $3.00, $5.00, and $7.50 Sizes 
D.P. 30 Adarissa X Miretta “Glendessary” 
A cross bred from two of our most promising green parents. 
Clearness of coloring and abundance of bloom will be two 
outstanding characteristics. 
Available in $3.00, $5.00, and $7.50 Sizes 
D.P.2 Blue Smoke “Green Meadows” X Irina 
Though greens are expected to be predominant, a few good 
clear yellows can also be expected. 
Available in $3.00, $5.00, and $7.50 Sizes 
D.P. 33 Frivolity X Miretta, clear green variety 
Though a green Frivolity was used in this cross, we do expect 
quite a wide range of interesting colors as Frivolity comes in 
a rather wide range of colors. The seedlings of this cross are 
extremely vigorous. 
Available in $3.00, $5.00, and $7.50 Sizes
