Ne. Comment Necessary- 
. as most of the parents used in the production of these seedlings are so well known, es- 
pecially on the Pacific Coast, that much comment regarding them would be superfluous. They 
make a very interesting array of crosses that will appeal to growers, large and small, of this 
popular orchid. 
The following are in plant bands 2”x2”x22” 
in flats of 32 per flat. Plant sizes from 3” to 
6” in height. For your convenience please order 
by plant numbers. 
No. 10—Miretta ‘’Glendessary’’ x Alexanderi “’Westonbirt’’

offered at the present time. Miretta ‘’Glendessary’’ was the 
best seedling in the 1950 Santa Barbara show. It is a heavy 
producer of clear green flowers with large crimson lip. Here 
it is crossed with the world famous Alexanderi ‘’Westonbirt.”’

fered here are from the same seed pod. Enough said!
