DANIEL RYERSON, BOX 805, HOMESTEAD, FLA. MATURE HYBRIDS Page 12 
Because so many new Orchid Enthusiasts have asked, here’s why I recommend hybrids. Mature, blooming 
size hybrids have several distinct advantages over species plants. 
First, while they have their regular season, when most of their blooms are produced, many will bloom once 
or twice again before the year is over. Second, having been bred for form, color, substance, vigor and 
profuseness of bloom, they usually have these advantages over the species that formed their background. 
Third, the plants, having been grown “in captivity” from babyhood, are better looking than plants just 
imported from the South American jungles. They are as easy to grow, and much more satisfactory to own, 
for the above reasons. They are worth the little extra they cost! 
Many of the hybrids on this list are in sheath as these pages go to press but, as some bloom and others 
start forming their sheaths, that is a constantly changing condition. Whenever possible, I fill your order with 
plants in sheath. You can help by choosing hybrids whose season is approaching; by naming a second choice; 
or by telling me the color and season wanted, and allowing me to select for you. 
All the following are nice looking plants in 5% or 6-inch pots (according to how the hybrid grows) and 
have one or more new leads on which they should bloom.
