Description of WHITE GOLD - ( Maid of Orleans X Picardy ) 
A mammoth informal or decorative, that produces a small percentage of formal spikes. 
Color - Rich cream, blending into a light clear gold throat. 
Florets - Wide open, moderately ruffled, of heavy substance, well placed and spaced on tall, 
straight spikes; 5-7 open, with 5-6 showing color. Under ordinary field culture the lower 
florets measure 6 inches, the size gradually decreasing toward the tip, adding an air of 
grace; the petals are very broad, usually 3 inches wide. 
(Under special culture florets of 8Y2 inches have been reported) 
Spike 
Plant 
Tall, straight, and strong, 60 inches and over. 
Exceptionally vigorous grower, with very broad, deep green leaves (White Gold can be 
readilly identified in any planting by its foliage and vigorous growth alone). It is apparently 
immune to all common glad diseases and produces an abundance of large bulblets which 
germinate 100% and which produce large bulbs in a single season. 
Prices for 1947 season - per Each — 
Large - $.20; Medium - $.15; Small - $.10 
Ten bulbs of one size at eight times the single price. 
Bulblets: 10 - $.20; 100 - $1.90 
GENGHIS KHAN - ( Beltane [Mrs. P. W. Sisson x Comm. Koehl] X Picardy ) 
The popularity of this striking pink decorative in increasing by bounds as larger stocks permit 
of wider distribution. Genghis Khan has won blue ribbons at a number of shows and this past season 
it was chosen as the most ruffled glad at the Wisconsin G. S. Regional and Sheboygan County Chap- 
ter Show. One large western grower wrote awhile back that he considers Genghis Khan the best 
of all the pinks that he grows. 
Perhaps no other glad compares with Genghis Khan in depth of ruffling: it is actually corrugated. 
Thanks to considerable increase in stocks, it has been possible to make a substantial reduction 
in prices this season.
