This unique and new race of dwarf growing, tiny flowered 
Cymbidiums have become popular almost overnight. Noth- 
ing in your entire collection will cause more surprise and 
excitement than when these plants come into bloom with 
their scores of dainty pink and rose flowers, each an exact 
miniature of a normal size Cymbidium flower. 
SOMETHING NEW! From far off JAPAN has come the Dwarf 
Cymbidium PUMILUM used here to breed these two charming 
miniature crosses. 
e These sturdy little plants will be compact growers—full size about 
18 to 24 inches high when in bloom. 
e Can be expected to have from 10 to 15 flowers erectly carried on 
sturdy spikes well above the graceful green foliage. 
e Imagine a plant in a five or six inch pot with up to 40 or 50 lovely 
flowers at one time. 
WARMER GROWING—We have found that hybrids of this type 
grow and flower well under much warmer conditions than most other 
types. If you live in a part of the world where you have had to admire 
Cymbidiums from afar—we suggest you try a few plants of these 
crosses.

+1393 PURPUREUM +B115 X PUMILUM 
Cymbidium pumilum is a dwarf Cymbidium from China and 
Japan. The flowers of this variety are dark reddish maroon and 
are no larger than a person’s thumb nail. When this rare species 
is crossed with a conventional Cymbidium with upright flower 
spike and clear pink coloring such as Purpureum, an extremely 
attractive miniature very much on the order of Minuet can be 
expected. The flowers of this variety will average from an inch to 
an inch and a half across. 
+1394 ZEBRA +235 X PUMILUM 
In this cross we used Cymbidium Zebra (Dryad X Insigne) be- 
cause of its erect spike habit and fine shape. The flowers were 
white with a light pink blushing. Lip was spotted and _ striped 
crimson throughout. Here, as in the above cross, the object has 
been to assure that the miniature flowers will be carried on strong 
erect spikes well above the foliage and well spaced on the spike. 
$5.00 for strong, well rooted seedlings with leaf length 
of from 8 to 12 inches.
