MULTIM IN PARVO - much in little! Small in size but great in potential value, Rivermont Miniatures are 
the result of a carefully planned hybridization program and the desire to provide our customers with top 
quality merchandise at a very reasonable price. 
Rivermont Miniatures are seedlings of 12 to 18 months of age. These plants are well rooted and established 
in 1-1/2" pots. Do not confuse these plants with thumb pots which have been offered to you in the past in the 
price range between $2.00 and $3.50, because the plants are younger and consequently smaller. Usually 
they average from lL" to 1-1/2" in height and treated culturally like any other small seedling. 
Those of you who have had experience inremoving plants from acommunity pot are well aware of the many 
difficulties involved, particularly in the separation of the massive, tangled root systems. By excluding this 
undesirable stage and, instead, transplanting our seedlings directly from the transplanted flask into indivi- 
dual pots, the original roots of each plant are permitted to develop freely and unhampered. Uponshifting, 
no injury occurs to the root system, therefore, eliminating the possibility of shock that causes inevitable 
setback; thus, the plant rapidly becomes acclimated to its new surroundings. 
Our improved cultural technique for growing seedlings, which by-passes the undesirable community pot 
stage, cuts the cost of labor and other materials, and most important the length of time required to bloom 
these vigorous growing plants. By offering these sturdy plants to our customers as soon as they are well 
established, passes on to you both a savings in dollars and also enables you to acquire larger groups of 
potential fine orchids at reasonable prices. 
WHITES WITH COLORED LIPS 
RL (Lc. Jane Dane x Lc. Abnaki, var. June) New hybrids capable of producing choice, long last- 
ing WCL's suitable for either exhibitional purposes or top quality commercial cut flower sales 
are somewhat on the scarce side; thus, when this superior combination was made, we crossed our fingers 
and hoped that the plants involved would prove to be compatible and that viable seed would result. Jane Dane 
and Abnaki have continuously been copious producers of superior WCL's of 7'' to 8" in spread with large and 
broad, moderately ruffled lip of deep doge purple having a large, distinctive area of yellow midways within 
the throat. Late winter to spring flowering, this should be a most desirable hybrid for the amateur, the 
hobbyist, the commercial man, or the connoisseur.

LAVENDERS 
R-1402 LC. MIRA (Lc. Tegucigalpa x Lc. Winter Belle) Blooms resulting from the first flowering 
R-1789 plants of this recently registered cross were so excellent in form, substance, and coloring that 
an exact repeat (R-1402) as well as a reciprocal (R-1789) cross was made. A heavy producer of 
well proportioned blooms having overlapping sepals and petals of mineral to cobalt violet, 6-1/2" to 7" spread, 
with a full, handsomely ruffled lip of deep doge purple. Recommended for both exhibitional and quality cut 
flower purposes, this cross is winter flowering, and should be easily cropped for Christmas blooming.
