Excellent colors of red and pink should prevail from this noteworthy 
combination. One parent, a ‘diploid’ with rose color; the other a 
‘tetraploid’ pink (both with very fine large flowers ) points to another 
strong producing ‘triploid’ of the best possible quality.

The very fine early flowering Bimbo, of dark green color with a ruby- 
red banded lip, combined with the golden colored Pearl “Magnificum’ 
F.C.C.-R.H.S. will produce many choice and important early flower-

flowered spikes, we are sure. 
UNFLOWERED CYPRIPEDIUM SEEDLINGS * 
We present this offering with the assurance that many outstanding cypri- 
pedium flowers of merit will result from our long range planning, and the 
knowledge of what is necessary to produce the superior quality so important 
in today's highly developed cypripedium hybrids. 
Our stock of stud plants include many of the finest prize winners and 
high quality proven breeding stock to be found anywhere in the world. We 
are proud of many recent high honors awarded our cypripediums among 
which include—3 Gold Awards, 9 Silver Awards, 15 Bronze Awards, to name 
a portion. Along with these the praise given by those who know the superior 
stud stock we possess is a source of much satisfaction. 
CULTURE: Requirements for cypripedium are extremely simple, as they 
are adaptable to a wide variety of conditions, and are normally the most pest 
free of all the orchids. The wide selection of colors and types, along with 
being, perhaps, the longest lasting of all orchid flowers (6 to 8 weeks or more ) 
makes these plants so worthwhile and valuable to both amateur and commer- 
cial grower alike. 
Care of cypripedium follows that of cymbidiums except that they require 
more shade (600 to 1000 ft. candles of light). As they have no bulbs, they 
require somewhat oftener watering, and should not be allowed to stay dry 
at the roots for more than a very short time. Conditions similar to that afforded 
begonias seems quite satisfactory. The plain green leaf varieties may be grown 
outdoors with cymbidiums; however the mottled leaf varieties require more 
heat, and should have a temperature of 58° F. or above. Pot grown plants 
benefit by repotting approximately every 2 years. 
When grown in the home, they should be placed in a very light positicn 
such as an east, south, or west window. During the hottest part of the year give 
filtered sun if facing south, or west (such as split bamboo affords ). Fertilize 
approximately every fourth watering with a complete nutrient solution such oo be 
as Gaviota Orchid Fertilizer. John Doran ‘Alison’ A.M.-R.H.S.
