title: The Classic Cattleyas
author: Arthur A. Chadwick
description: <DIV>&quot;Another in the long line of fine horticulture books from this publisher. Everything about this book simply screams, &#39;Read me.&#39; While the main focus of the book is on the species, Chadwick also discusses the early days of cattleya hybridizing, giving a wonderfully accurate picture of how we arrived at the dizzying breadth and range of colors now seen.&quot;&#8212;Ned Nash, Orchids, May 2006</DIV>
