MATURE, BLOOMING SIZE VANDA HYBRID (Special # 5) 
TE ETN HARI ON * te 
a ee FER Oe neg rR San OL rae ORO oN td rt 
Those of you who missed out on the Mature Vanda Special last time, are being of- 
ferred another chance! Even if you bought before, chances are you did not receive 
this hybrid as your SAMPLE plant, for not many of them were coming into flower at 
that time. It is V-24 - Vo DENISONIANA VAR HEBRIACUM X Ve. SANDERIANA. 
Many plants of this hybrid are now beginning to produce their flower spikes, so if 
you want to see yours in flower in the very nesr future, don't delay in sending 
your order. Of course, Vanda Hybrids, blooming several times per year, as they do, 
will not keep you waiting too long for flowers anyhow, if you treat them right. 
(See Page Q and Page V) 
The flowers of this hybrid have been more uniform in form, size and color than in 
most of the ether hybrids. Individual flowers sre two to three inches across on 
first blooming, considerably lerger after plant matures. Nice, open, flat form, 
with sepals and petals evenly spaced. Natwork of rustic brown lines and cross- 
bars on chartreuse-yellow background. Extra heavy texture makes the flowers very 
long lasting, even for Vandas. 
Bloom spikes start out from the apex of the "V" formed by a pair of the strap 
leaves. Spring the leaves apart a bit in looking for it. First spike usually has 
seven to ten flowers. Leter spikes have more flowers, 
Three or five of these flowers will make a core 
sage you can wear again and again, without its 
looking “beaten up" 
Cut stems with razor blade, “load" in fresh 
water and chill in refrigerator. Then if you 
put a tiny dab of moist cotton over each stem 
and before it is wired and taped, you will in- 
crease the lasting qualities. 
Would you like some double-faced ribbon, brown 
on one side, chartreause on the other, for a 
corsage bow? Ask for it when ordering your 
plant of V-24, and it will be included, along 
with wire, tape and corsage pin.
