DIXIE GOLD 
Dixie Gold, our 1940 introduction, has made 
good beyond our expectations. A seedling of Prairie 
Gold and Apricot Glow. It is a very tall, Golden 
Orange, shading to a deeper orange, giving it a 
bronze or two-tone effect. Mr. Lins gave it a very 
fine report. Being tried in American Legion Trial 
Gardens in ’38 and ’39, our field report is: Planted 
April 1st, bloomed July 3—938 days. Height, 74 
inches. Flower head, 30 inches. Buds, 21. Open 7, 
in color, 4. Size 414.”. This was an unusual year and 
blooming dates this year not natural. Mr. Lins had 
it bloom in Wisconsin in 70 days. But didn’t get it 
to grow as tall. (We used Vitamin B—might be the 
secret). Here are some of the reports on it: A basket 
display in the 100 ft. Blue Ribbon display, Ohio 
State Show. Received very favorable mention in 

show report. Was given an award of merit in the 
W. Va. trial garden. Only five varieties were award- DIXIE GOLD. 
ed in this report. Dixie Gold was one of them. A DR Oa aeD 
few bulbs were planted in Rhode Island by Mr. Rob- 
ert Beattie of WARWICK NECK, R. I. Mr. Beattie won 3 Challenge tro- 
phies at Boston Show in 1939 and Sweepstakes in Open Section. In 1940 
he repeated the above winning and evidently knows his Glads. Here is 
his report: “‘Dixie Gold is the best I’ve ever seen in its color class, and I 
believe will be a good commercial. The spikes were around five feet tall. 
Good, straight, wiry stems. Mr. Manley of W. Va. states we like it very 
much and would like to grow it for show as I think it will win over any one 
in its color class. It’s really a beautiful Glad.’ The picture above was 
taken July 27. These Glads were grown from very small bulbs. That day 
the temperature report was 97 degrees. Had no rain in 14 days. Here is 
a Glad that is a good performer and can stand the heat. We have a fine 
stock of this variety and offering them at a very reasonable price for a 
Glad so new and so fine. 
Bulbs, large 1—50c; Medium, 40c; Small, 30c; Bulblets, 5c.
