Description of White Gold 
Color - A rich cream, blending into a light gold throat, with no other mark. 
Florets - Wide open, with very heavy, very broad, slightly ruffled petals; florets never crowd- 
ed, 6-7 open, with 5-6 showing color, on a 19-21 bud spike. 
Size: Under ordinary field culture the florets run consistently from 6” up for the 
lower florets, the size diminishing gradually, but perceptibly, upward on the spike, 
giving it a pleasing tapering effect. 
Spike - Very tall and straight, reaching a length of 60” or more. 
Plant - Unexcelled for health and vigor, with broad, lush folliage. Corms clean and healthy, 
with many large bulblets which germinate practically 100% and make large bulbs 
the first season. 
Please Note .-. White Gold has inherited from its parent Picardy the trait of throwing spikes 
with rather short, stubby flower-heads from small, or from young bulbs: Spikes from large 
two year old bulbs produce normally proportioned flower-heads. 
Note - I have had many reports of extraordinary performance of White Gold. Fans write 
me that they have grown it up to over six feet in height, and florets as large as 8%” have 
been reported; I have myself measured florets of 7%” on plants that had not received any 
special treatment of any sort. There can be no doubt that White Gold can be grown to gi- 
gantic size.

PLEASE NOTE. While stocks of White Gold are fairly large, there are indications 
that point to a heavy demand, and stock may be sold out before the end of the season. Early 
ordering is the only way to insure that your order can be filled. 

What They Say About White Gold: 
The Boston Post, August 20, 1942, in its report on the Boston Show of the New England 
Gladiolus Society: 
“Sensation of the show is a display of “White Gold’ by Wendell W. Wyman of Sharon, 
originated by Dr. George H. Scheer, of Sheboygan, Wisconsin; showing 25 spikes, a bouquet 
standing higher than a man’s waist, each spray vieing with the other for size and creamy 
color--”
