With both Mr. Prestgard and Mr Palmer evincing a predilection for creamy apricot shades, this color class, which hardly existed 
five years ago, has now become one of the leading sections — in beauty at least if not yet in size. It is interesting to notice that the 
new Shirley Temple represents a combination of the Palmer and Prestgard strains. . . . About half of the varieties listed above are ap¬ 
pearing in our catalog for the first time. We recommend the varieties in this color section as being among the most beautiful in the 
entire catalog.

Twenty years ago white glads were either very poor growers or all too often opposite-flowered (a trait inherited from the wild 
white variety oppositiflorus'). By crossing Europa with the wild primulinus Pfitzer laid the foundation for a new strain of whites which 
are all that could be desired in respect to vigor. The leading white a generation ago was Peace. Using this and Kunderd’s Glory as a 
start Mr. Prestgard after several generations produced the wonderful Solveig , which when properly acclimated is still the white par 
excellence.

By a pure pink we mean a variety which is neither warm-toned (i.e. salmon-pink) nor cool-toned (i.e. rose-pink). As a result 
this color division is sort of a knife-edge class, and therefore inevitably small. Pure pink glads that are very light toned, such as De¬ 
bonair, Mrs. McManus, Sweetheart, etc. are placed in the light pink class — a procedure which also tends to cut down the number of 
pure pinks. The few varieties that remain in this color class, however, happen to be very good, being unusually fresh-toned and beau¬ 
tiful. Thus Heritage possesses perhaps the purest color of any of the giant glads_If you have not tried it, do not pass up Sonatine.
