By GENEVIEVE BRIGGS
Wilderville - Marcellus P.
Frost, whose greenhouse is lo
cated near here, has become
one of the outstanding hybri
dizers of orchids in the Pa
cific Northwest.
Frost's Interest In orchids
started when he went to a
flower show In Los Angeles
and won a seedling. To house
the seedling he built a small
greenhouse. He became so
fascinated with the culture
that he bought more and
more.
The collection grew, and
when Frost moved from Los
Angeles to southern Oregon
four years ago, to get into
clean air and damp winters
in which orchids thrive, he
brought 1,800 plants with
him.
This year he had 6.000
blooms which were cut and
sold during Easier season. Or
chids bloom from February to
June.
Frost says his greatest
thrill is to see a seedling he
has painstakingly hybridized
open Its face to a world that
'has never sppn ils fnc hp.
fore. He speaks of the many
times he has gone out with a
flashlight at night to see if a
particular plant has opened.
His most outstanding plant
Is Etta Barlow Vanity, a price
less one. Others that have
made him famous are Lillian
Stewart, Balkis Silver Orb
and flosan Vanity Pink.
Frost entertained the Med-
ford Garden club during
April, and among other spring
visitors was Gordon Hoyt of
Seattle, authority on orchids,
who was impressed bv the
variety and quality of Frost's
orchids.
The public is also Invited
to visit Frost's greenhouse.
