RYERSON EXPANSIBLE ORCHID FOLDER - MATURE, BLOOMING SIZE HYBRIDS Page 12 
What are the advantages of owning mature Hybrids, versus Species? First, many 
modern hybrids will bloom twice, three = or even more times per year, where the 
average Species plant blooms but once a year. 
Second, you can give your collection more VARIETY with hybrids - wider range of 
colors, sizes and forms of the flowers, than if you limit yourself to Cattleya 
Species. Modern hybrids are bred for vigor and free-flowering qualities. 
Species plants, if recently imported from the jungles, are usually pretty rough 
looking customers. If you want good looking plants, you'll be wise to select 
Hybrids, grown “in captivity" from their infancy. They will require less acclima= 
ting before they feel at home in your surroundings. 
The following Hybrids are in 5, 5s or 6-inch pots, according to how compact the 
growth. All are mature, blooming size plants, with one or more new leads - many 
with sheath as this is being printed. If you want yours to be in sheath, try to 
select plants that are in season when you order. And, if possible, name a second 
choice. Or, tell me the colors and types you prefer and let me select for you. 
You will notice I have established back divisions of some hybrids. They won't 
look like as much plant, nor be so close to blooming as the fully mature hybrid in 
sheath, but if you are a little patient, it is a way of acquiring the hybrids you 
want for a smaller investment! The (*) shows you which have divisions?
