Advanced Size 
SEEDLING 
To those who are somewhat im- 
patient we offer a selected group 
of more advanced size seedlings 
bred with a green expectancy. 
These plants can be expected to 
flower in one to three years. 
S-468 Esmeralda, AM. RHS. X Irina, “Celeste” 
We expect many lovely greens from this cross. The long arch- 
ing sprays of this famous Esmeralda carry flowers of a lovely 
golden green. The lips are ochre yellow with little other mark- 
ing which adds to the charm of this fine hybrid. The Irina used 
also has fine spike habit. It is a clear green of excellent form 
and substance. The well shaped white lip has rich bronze 
chestnut marking. 
Available in $10, $12.50 and $15.00 Sizes 
S-475 Lowio grandiflorum, 
“Westonbirt,” FCC. RHS. X Irina 
The Lowio-grandiflorum used here has proven itself of enor- 
mous value as a parent. It produces large flowers on handsome 
pendant spikes. The sepals and petals are a rich green. The lip 
is a clear cream white with an intensely colored Indian red 
band. The Irina used is comparable to the one described in 
S-468. We have confidence for many fine greens from this cross 
with desirable arching spike habit. This cross is proving to be 
a strong grower. 
Available in $5.00 and $7.50 Sizes 
S-1336 Blue Smoke “Calumet” X 
Claudona “Glendessary” 
We had to be careful in describing this cross not to use too 
many superlatives, as two remarkably fine parents were used. 
The bloodline of both parents is very distinguished. We flow- 
ered the first few seedlings from Blue Smoke this year and the 
results have been very good greens. The breeding on Claudona 
is Claudette var. Invicta X Cremona var. Black Prince, FCC. 
RHS. The form of Claudona used in this cross is perhaps the 
darkest green we have ever seen. The lip is very heavily 
marked on its basal portions with darkest maroon red. This 
plant was judged to be the best green Cymbidium in the 1950 
Santa Barbara Cymbidium Show. The growth of these seed- 
lings is very strong and we are confident of many very worth- 
while greens. 
Available in $5.00, $7.50, and $12.50 Sizes 
S-1362 Blue Smoke, Stewart Strain 
(Blue Smoke “Calumet” X Blue Smoke “Pernod”) 
Two of our very best forms of Blue Smoke were used to make 
a repeat on this famous green cross. The original parents of 
Blue Smoke were Lowianum, Pitts var. X Mirabel, AM. RHS. 
We believe that this cross will produce many greens compar- 
able to the best Blue Smokes, in some cases perhaps even better. 
The growth, as could be expected, is very strong. 
Available in $7.50, $10.00, and $12.50 Sizes 
CLAUDONA “GLENDESSARY” Bronze Medal Variety 
S-476 DARJEELING 
(Blue Smoke “Pernod” X Rosette “Regal”’) 
The Rosette used was an intensely clear greenish yellow of fine 
carriage and good form. The clear yellow coloring of the lip 
forms a pleasing background for the generous Indian red 
marking on its basal portions. The flowers of this Rosette are 
otf good size and well carried on strong erect spikes. The Pernod 
variety of Blue Smoke is one of the best forms of this much 
sought after cross. The plant has phenomenal vigor and produces 
Howers of fine shape and substance on a handsome arching 
spray. The sepals and petals are a clear rich green. The lip is 
golden with a bold dark maroon bar on its basal portion. 
Though greens should predominate we do expect some yellows 
and greenish yellows. 
Available in $7.50, $10.00, $12.00 and $15.00 Sizes 
S-1331 Woodhamsianum concolor X 
Miretta “Glendessary” 
We feel that the Woodhamsianum parent will produce some 
worthwhile concolor forms. Considering the parents of Miretta 
(Claudette var. Invicta X Mirabel, AM. RHS.) as well as the 
fact that there are some very worthwhile Miretta’s we are 
confident as to the outcome. 
Available in $5.00 Size 
S-1345 Erica Sander “Bowman” X Adarissa 
Here again we have used (Adastra X Nerissa var. Peridot). 
Both parents were grand clear chartreuse varieties with fine 
spike habits. This cross may tend to be on the early blooming 
side. The Erica Sander parent has been used many times, and 
is a proven parent. Several well known Erica Sander crosses 
are Heathrow, Bodmin Moor, Dabchick and Andromache. The 
second parent of this cross has an especially good shape and is 
also an approved stud plant.
