3 GRAND NEW GREEN HYBRIDS 
ROM Heathrow Wary Gea 
#1432 Irene Gibbs X Heathrow “Mary Bea” 
Irene Gibbs represents the latest, most successful method ot 
breeding quality Cymbidiums. This is the crossing of two 
primary hybrids derived from Alexanderi “Westonbirt.” The 
breeding here is Bodmin Moor X Swallow. We crossed one of 
our loveliest green Irene Gibbs by the famous clear lime green 
with fuschia marked lip Heathrow “Mary Bea.” Though we 
cannot predict the color we expect many fine greens, various 
shades of yellow, and pastel tones. 
Available on or about May 30, 1954 in $3.00 and $4.00 Sizes 
#1444 Heathrow “Mary Bea” X Rosette “Regal” 
We crossed the very large, clear, light greenish-yellow Rosette 
“Regal” which has been used in a number of our crosses onto 
the exceptionally clear lime green Heathrow “Mary Bea” which 
is so popular throughout this part of the country. Clear, light 
colors in greens and yellows should predominate here. 
Plants available in $3.00 and $4.00 Sizes 
#1532 Blue Smoke “Beverly Glen” X 
Heathrow “Mary Bea” 
We find it difficult to bring to mind a cross that gives any 
greater promise of a high percentage of lovely clear green 
flowers than the cross offered here. Blue Smoke “Beverly Glen” 
received a Bronze Medal Award from the Cymbidium Society 
and is considered by many experts to be the finest and clearest 
colored of all the Blue Smokes. Heathrow “Mary Bea” is most 
unusual because its sparkling clear green sepals and petals are 
in lovely contrast to its generous creamy white lip which is 
unique in that the color is carried in vertical fuschsia stripes 
throughout most of its entirety instead of being banded or 
spotted as are most Cymbidium lips. If you desire a sturdy 
growing, clear light green of excellent breeding, make this 
cross a “must” on your list. 
Availab’e in $3.00, $4.00 Size on or about Sept. 1, 1954 
Famous 
Apollo ‘‘Exbury”’ Crosses 
+1400 Esmeralda, AM., RHS. X 
Apollo “Exbury,” FCC., RHS. 
Within the last several years both of the parents used here 
have flowered a number of progeny which have proven them 
to be outstanding parents. We have every confidence that the 
results of this cross will be a green of excellent quality and 
clear coloring. Most forms will have the crimson barred lip of 
the Apollo parent. Seedlings are sturdy growers and can be 
expected to be free flowering.

31406 Erica Sander “Bowman” X 
Apollo “Exbury,”” FCC., RHS. 
In this cross we combined the famous green Apollo “Exbury” 
by what is considered by many Cymbidium growers to be the 
finest Erica Sander. Undoubtedly most forms will be in the 
clear green shades though some yellows can be expected. The 
flowers also can be expected to have good size and substance 
and will be borne on long arching sprays. 
Available in $3.00 and $4.00 Sizes 
+1407 Blue Smoke “Green Meadows” X 
Apollo “Exbury,” FCC., RHS. 
A high percentage of shapely, clear greens can be expected 
from this cross. Blue Smoke “Green Meadows” is one of the 
lovliest of this famous cross. Seedlings are vigorous and we are 
quite confident of the results. 
Available in $3.00, $4.00, and $5.00 Sizes 
D.P.14 Adarissa X Apollo “Exbury,”” FCC., RHS. 
The Adarissa used in this cross is among the clearest of all 
greens we have seen. The lip of this variety is dark purple 
along its basal portions with slight stainings of amythest along 
the lip markings. Bright green Apollo “Exbury” can be counted 
on for quality. 
Availab’e in $3.00, $4.00, and $5.00 Sizes 
Yam ‘Khan 
“Venutam™ (r028¢8 
+1499 Carisona “Glendessary” X 
Nam Khan “Verulam” 
Nam Khan is a hybrid bred from two of the world’s most 
famous parents, Pauwelsii “Comte d’ Hemptinne,” FCC., RHS. 
X Rosanna “Pinkie,” FCC., RHS. We have every reason to 
believe this plant will be every bit as outstanding a parent in 
its own right. A high percentage of plants can be expected to 
be either pink or rose shades. Fine shape and heavy substance 
will be a common characteristic of most varieties. 
Seedlings with 8”-12” leaf length, $5.00. Availab!e Sept. 30, 1954. 
D.P. 35 Nam Khan “Verulam” X 
Beatrice “Superba”

can expect many forms to have solidly marked crimson lips.

D.P. 34 Babylon “Castle Hill,” FCC., RHS. X 
Nam Khan “Verulam” 
We can bring to mind few crosses with any greater promise. 
Sturdy seedlings are vigorous growers. Many shades of rose 
through pinks should be the predominant color. 
Available 8-12” Leaf Length $5.00
