Outstanding New and 
Recent Introductions 
SPIC AND SPAN. (Carlson-Puerner) 
This tall deep pink—really it is a 
shade between pink and salmon, has 
created a sensation at shows whenever 
exhibited. Its tall spike will open 8 to 
10—4%% to 5 inch florets on a flower- 
head, carrying 20 to 22 buds. Spikes 
never crook. Its placement is near per- 
fect. Large bulbs $3.50; Medium $2.75; 
Small $1.50. Bulblets, 10 for $3.50; 100 
for $25.00. 
ORIENTAL PEARL (Carlson) Origina- 
tor’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 lies 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. Large 
bulbs $2.00; Medium $1.50; Small $1.00. 
Bulblets, 10 for $2.00; 100 for $12.00. 
MARTHA DEANE (Walter Guille). 
Mid-season. 
A beautiful tall growing yellow, with 
faint red throat spears, not conspicuous. 
It will make a 30 inch flowerhead, 6 to 8 florets opening, on a tall, graceful spike. 
One of the most beautiful yellows yet introduced. Large bulbs $1.50; Medium $1.00; 
Small 75c. Bulblets, 10 for $1.00; 100 for $7.00.
