A prominent Iowa breeder and grower: 
“As to White Gold, I think you are rather modest in your claims. I regard it as an im- 
portant break in glads. For instance, the two years I’ve grown it it has bloomed weeks ahead 
of anything else on my place, and I have acres of glads. It seems to like the heavy black 
Iowa clay loam because it is very tall, with a long flower head and the florets gracefully 
placed, never crowded. And the biggest blooms I ever saw in any glad, and I have grown 
many thousands of seedlings with a few I thought were awfully big--” 

From a well-known eastern grower and one of the most prominent exhibitors and biggest 
winners in the country: 
“White Gold has certainly established an enviable reputation for me throughout the 
east. This variety was invariably excellent wherever I had occasion to see it the past season 
and in my own garden it gave a remarkable performance. This is true in comparison with 
many other fine creams that have been recently introduced on the market and I do not hes- 
itate to say that White Gold is the most outstanding of all. It has every good habit that is 
to be desired in a variety of his sort--” 

J. R. Hopkins: 
“A truly sensational beauty -- the best glad, to my thinking, since Picardy. Runs away 
with the 106 cream class. Big florets up to 742” -- opens up to 7, with strong spikes. Very 
dependable grower from all size bulbs -- stands heat and drought and gives marvelous bb. 
increase. If you have never grown it you can look forward to a real treat and enjoy the en- 
thusiasm of everybody who sees your blooms. It is a fine commercial as well as tops on 
exhibition table.--” 

From Report of Legion Trial Gardens: 
“No glad since the coming of Peggy Lou has taken the shows as has White Gold. 
Without Peggy’s occasional misplacement and slightly out of proportion spike in growing, 
it is bound to win your heart. Tall growing (we once said five feet but surely undermea- 
sured this) with large florets and good substance, it has proven itself a blue ribbon winner 
in spite of limited distribution and without any strong support behind it. Picardy in all its 
glory must sidestep for this marvelous cream white and what it has accomplished. With no 
“trade mark” to give it support and distribution, it has gone out and established itself--” 
From a well known Des Moines grower: 
“Dr. Knight took first with a basket of White Gold at the Ames show; without doubt 
it was the most beautiful basket of glads I have ever seen.”
