ALEXANDERI, “Westonbirt,” FCC., RHS. X 
SUSSEX, var. Laelia Sasso 
In our search for the finest, most highly colored Cym- 
bidiums to breed with Alexanderi, Westonbirt var., FCC. 
RHS., we were fortunate to obtain Sussex var. Laelia 
Sasso. This large, shapely, heavy textured, highly copper- 
colored variety should give many fine yellows, orangy 
yellows, creams and multi-colored hybrids, all with the 
fine shape, substance, and texture to be expected in a 
cross of this type. Again, in order to acquaint our custo- 
mers with famous hybrids along these same lines, we 
mention such crosses as Water Rail, Westpark, Swallow, 
Regina, Lady Moxham, and Jena Bailey.

SUSSEX X BALKIS, var. Silver Orb, AM.AOS. 
We selected the Sussex used here because of its out- 
. standing free flowering qualities and its shapely yellow 
— flowers rendered striking by their crimson banded lips. 
The expectancy tor this cross is a hybrid with the superb 
qualities of the Balkis parent and the free flowering, 
many flowered spray habit of the Sussex parent. Colors 
can be expected to range from white through to various 
shades of yellow and pastel pink.

SUSSEX #A454 X BABYLON, “Castle 
Billys ECGs RHs: 
We can say we have never seen a more prolific bloomer 
than the tawny orange form of Sussex which was used 
here. The combining of these two parents should result 
in exceptionally sturdy plants which produce cascades 
of large, heavily textured flowers in a gamut of colors, 
from a wide range of exquisite pink shades through to 
golden orange, old gold, peach, and combinations of 
these colors with a base pink coloring. Because of the 
high percentage of pink blood in Sussex this should 
CYMBIDIUM SUSSEX var. HOLIDAY combine with the dominant color characteristics of Baby- 
; ) lon to make pinks predominant in this cross.
