OREGON GOLD (Majeski) Heaton says, 
“The finest yellow in existence.” A very 
large ruffled light yellow with a golden 
throat. Splendid clear color, lightest of 
the yellows. Fine keeper when cut. 
This variety is quite late blooming. 
Commercial growers are_ stocking it 
heavily. Tremendous propagator and 
usually a good germniator. It is espe- 
cially lovely in Autumn and appears to 
be getting better each successive season. 
Too late for growing by our Canadian 
neighbors,

VIENTAL PEARL (Carlson) 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 can be grown to 7 
inches from large bulbs, bulblet blooms 
up to 6 inches. Its best feature lies in 
the fact that florets are strongly at- 
tached to the stem: it can be bunched 
and shipped in spite of its great size. 
I have never known one to crook. Won 
ntumerous awards both last season and 
this and is bound to become a leading 
cut flower variety. I know no glad to 
be given a better reception in its first 
year of introduction than Oriental Pear]. 
As promised, price to remain same for 
this season.

to 8, four to four and one-half inch 
blooms on a tall straight stem. Opens 
well from: tight bud. This with its 
eerly bhlooming, 65 to 70 days. should 
make this a very good commercial vari- 
ety. Parma was one of the pleasant sur- 
prises of the season.

PAUL ROBESON (Cave) Here is a dark

to date in this color. Introduced in Can- 
ada in 1943. I have grown it for 3 years

Zrows tall. straight and onens several 
5 to 5% florets in perfect informal ar- 
rangement, really a dark red Picardy.

PIONEER 
PURPLE SUPREME 

PINK PICARDY (Earl) This is a deeper 
and far more attractive sport of Picardy, 
identical save for coloring. Those who 
witnessed the huge basket at Wabash

sold to commercial growers past two 
years to replace Picardy.

is one of the good dependable pinks and 
is highly recommended as a commercial.
