ORIENTAL PEARL (Carlson) Originator’s Description 
The Wonder Glad of 1946. Oriental Pearl is a very large wide open plain petalled 
cream. It is the finest glad I have ever seen in its color. Florets are easily 7 inches 
in diameter and even spikes from medium sizes carry 18 buds. Its best feature les 
in the fact that florets are strongly and closely attached to the stem; it can be bunched 
and shipped, in spite of its great size. I have never known one to crook. Winnings,
