In offering this new Glad to the public, I 
wanted to be sure of the color description, 
so last summer I sent a dozen spikes to Mr. 
Isaac Sharps, the well-known artist. Mr. 
Sh arps is classed as an expert on nature 
subjects. His letter follows: 
New Hampton, N. J. 
Aug. 31, ’33. 
Dear Mr. Burd: 
1 have been studying your new Glad, “Star¬ 
dust,” and am pleased to say that the longer I 
look at it, the better I like it. Its beautiful vel¬ 
vety crimson, a rose red inclining to purple, has 
a softness and charm all) its 1 own. The throat of 
the flower is of a delicate ivory tint, and has the 
softness of pastel coloring. Coming through the 
center of the petals is a pure bright red in rather 
broad markings, blending away to the extreme 
edges of the petals in a delicate purple tint. Your 
new Glad has what artists are pleased to call, 
“latent color,” that is, the more the color is looked 
at, the more color is seen. This quality is an en¬ 
during charm, and I predict this new creation, 
evolved from nature’s vast storehouses of beauty, 
will win many friends among growers of these 
beautiful flowers. 
Yours truly, 
ISAAC SHARPS
