a ★★★V 2 (Coin) (HG) (85) Shades of light buff. A beautiful 
AilT ll d clear color sometimes tinged with pink. Warm yellow 
throat. 6 or more large wide open heavily ruffled blooms at a time. Strong straight 
spikes of 16- 18 buds. One of the most beautiful varieties grown and one that 
has received very line reports from people who know glads. If you can appreciate 
the beautiful be sure to try Amrita. See picture page 8. 
“Innovation is very popular, so is Vagabond Prince. 
“Among jive I chose as outstanding at the Sunnyside Show AMRITA and 
Barcarole led the list.” — Paul Brandon, Oregon. 
“ Amberglow, a self deep colored yellow and having essential commercial properties 
should go far in this direction. 
“AMRITA. In this variety we have the pick of all overseas novelties. When 
grown in larger quantities it surely must replace Picardy as the premier cut flower. 
Amrita very favorably impressed American experts also, who considered it the most 
beautiful glad that they had seen.” —Australia. 
“I wish also to express my appreciation of Palmer's varieties in general. They 
all seem to have vigor and sturdiness bred right into them. There are very few weak 
sisters. 
“Of seven AMRITA bulblets planted I got seven plants of marvelous vigor. These 
plants are larger now than most of my small bulb stock. Apparently this variety is 
possessed of great vigor. 
“Palmer gets the laurel wreath as a hybridizer on all around merit.” 
—W. E. Gardner, Michigan. 
“Aladdin is certainly gorgeous and immense but the best of all so far is AMRITA 
with Amulet close second.” — Mrs. B. F. Towle, N. Y. 
Amulet 
★ (Com) (HG) Clear medium orange. 5-6 or more 
____ heavily ruffled medium size blooms at a time. A sister 
seedling of Amrita and very beautiful. One of my favorites. Awards of Merit at 
the Canadian and New York Shows. 
Angelus 
★ ★★V 2 (Com) (HG) (85-90) Beautiful clear medium salmon 
of an unusual shade with clear cream blotch. 6 or 
Large wide open and somewhat frilled. A beautiful variety 
Bagdad 
more open. 18 buds 
for which there is always a good demand. 
“Of the fine ones in my trial patch was Beacon, Helena, Vagabond Prince. Of 
the newer ones Amrita and ANGELUS were way out ahead of good glads.” 
—Karl Bloom, Conn. 
K Glow ** (Com) (HG) (75-80) Beautiful clear warm 
iwi> apricot. About 5 medium size blooms on a tall 
straight stem. One of the parents of Picardy and of other fine varieties. If you 
like the medium size varieties by all means try Apricot Glow. The color is good. 
★ ★★★ (Ex) (HG) (90-100) Smoky old rose that usually goes 
__ in the smoky class on the exhibition table. Faint 
creamy blotch marked with pink on lower petals. 6-8 immense blooms open at a 
time. The best there is for exhibition. Blooms sometimes up to seven inches 
across. Good seller for bouquets. 
★ ★★★ (Com) (HG) (85) Clear rich grenadine orange. 
6-7 medium large beautifully ruffled blooms of 
heavy substance. One of the most beautiful varieties I know of. A sister seedling 
of Amrita and Amulet and fully as good as any of this breeding. Can’t imagine 
a much more beautiful variety. See picture page 18. 
“BARCAROLE is definitely the best in the unbleachable orange shades, not 
showing the slightest signs of bleaching even under our severe summer heat which at 
times is over 100 degrees in the shade. It should make an excellent parent for cross- 
fertilizing.” —Australia. 
“The bulbs we got of you last spring were fine. BARCAROLE is sure a fine 
one and will go places when it gets down where people can buy it.” 
—C. A. Johnson, Wise. 
“7 have often wondered why you have not touted BARCAROLE higher than you 
have. To me this is a very good looking glad and of a color we are shy of. It seems 
to be late, but I like it and note that it is a very good propagator and makes good growth 
from bulblets. I have a nice start of this variety and prize it quite highly.” 
—L. E. Weeks, Oregon.
