“OREGON ROSE” 
INTRODUCING 
OREGON ROSE (Mitsch-Brandon) 36-6-9. 
Pure rose with each petal edged ivory white, 
deep rose feather. I have seen no other glad 
with this combination of colors. It is really 
lovely and is always the center of attention in 
my field. Slightly ruffled, it never crooks and 
I have never seen a misplaced floret. Won¬ 
derful substance. It is one of those rare 
flowers with a charm or personality that 
eludes description. A Picardy seedling, it is a 
good grower. While it averages 16 buds to the 
spike it often appears somewhat stiff when 
there are 10 or 12 five to six inch florets open. 
This is the only thing about it that can be 
called a fault that I know of. (There are 
generally more florets open than the illustra¬ 
tion would indicate.) 
Mr. Mitsch, of Brownsville, Ore., who origi¬ 
nated this variety is one of the world’s fore¬ 
most glad growers and originator of such out¬ 
standing successes as Christabel, Flaming 
Meteor, Rima and Zuni. I feel particularly 
honored to offer this one as it is easily the 
most popular of the Mitsch originations in my 
fields. He says of it: “Glad you liked seedling 
31S6/1 (Oregon Rose). Others are very en¬ 
thusiastic. I like it very much myself and 
have often considered introducing it but have 
so many good ones that I am often at loss as 
to which ones to choose. Have noticed that 
the flower head is often a little short as with 
many of the Emile Aubrun descendants.” 
A lady from California calling here got a 
spike along with some others, she wrote: “I 
have never seen such gorgeous colors. ‘Ore¬ 
gon Rose’ took everyone’s breath away. It 
was the grandest flower I’ve ever seen.” 
Mr. Knight, the photographer, tells me that 
everyone stared at the spike as he carried it 
up the street. Strangers stopped to ask 
about it. 
Any size bulb, $5.00 each, no bulblets for 
sale. Please state size wanted, stock is limited, 
particularly in the large size. 
COMMERCIAL GROWERS: This is a real 
glad, ought to go places as popular as it is in 
our gardens. The price will be $5 for large 
bulbs again next year and we want to keep 
it from dropping more than 40 per cent any 
single year thereafter. Will you cooperate? 
We are sick of seeing great glads become dirt 
cheap so quickly, with consequent loss to 
many growers.

nate. Introduced at $130 a bulb, just 10 years 
ago. L 2— 15c, M 2—10c.
