NORMANDIE (Miller-Kaylor) (M) Beautiful soft pastel pink and 
cream. Large florets and a tall grower, with exquisite color. A 
poor propagator; we never have enough to supply the demand. 
L $1.00, M .75, S .50, Bulblets 2—.25, 10—$1.00 
OKLAHOMA (Wilson) (M) Soft lavender gray smoky with nicely 
frilled medium sized florets. More refined in appearance than 
most smoky varieties. Only medium height with us. 
L .80, M .55, S .30, Bulblets 3—.20, 10—.50 
ORANGE GOLD (Marshall) (EM) Our favorite orange for color, and 
one that usually demands first attention from garden visitors. 
Grows very tall with medium large florets, usually about 6 open. 
This might have been called ‘Miners’ Gold” as it is about the 
color of the gold dust used for currency by early day miners. 
A wonderful commercial color. Good bulb maker, propagation 
and germination quite good. 
L $1.00, M .60, S .40, Bulblets 2—.20, 10—.75, 100—$6.00 
OREGON ROSE (Mitsch-Brandon) (EM) A commercial rose pink 
that is becoming more popular each year; unexcelled for floral 
use in the making of sprays and other pieces. Tall stems, rather 
short flowerheads with practically all the flowers open at once. 
Oregon Rose was Grand Champion at Sioux City last summer, 
showing that when well grown it can be an exhibition variety 
as well as a grand commercial. 
L .15, M .10, Bulblets 100—.40 
ORIENTAL PEARL (Carlson-Puerner) (M) A huge cream glad that 
has received a lot of publicity, and all of it well deserved, in our 
opinion. A very tall strong grower, with 5 or 6 huge bell like 
flowers open at once. Makes a fine display particularly for mass- 
ive decorative effects, tall baskets, etc. We had only a few 
crooks in our planting of several hundred bulbs last summer. A 
fine propagator and bulblets grow well, many blooming. 
L $2.00, M $1.50, S $1.00, Bulblets .25, 10—$2.00, 100—$15.00 
1000—$75.00 
ORPHEUS (Roberts) (EM) Striking bright salmon-orange with clear 
cut deeper blotch on cream center. About 7 nicely ruffled 5-inch 
florets open on a tall spike. A novelty glad that is liked by all 
who see it; particularly noteworthy for its ability to hold its 
color in hot weather. Good increaser, fine bulb maker. Orpheus 
is one of our premium varieties for 1948—one bulb given free 
with each order from this list amounting to $15.00 or more, Only 
one bulb to a customer. Not for sale until 1949. 
PEGGY (West-Arenius) (EM) A nicely colored soft lavender of med- 
ium size on a tall stem. An early mid-season bloomer. While 
we haven’t seen much of it, it will probably find a place as a 
commercial lavender. Florets may be a trifle small for the tall 
stem. A nice unflecked color on the order of Badger Beauty; looks 
like a much healthier grower than that variety. . 
L $3.00, M $2.00, S $1.00, Bulblets .40, 10—$3.00, 25—$6.00 
The spike of GAVOTTE lasted for almost a month and bloomed 
to the very tip. One of my wife’s favorites; a lovely color.
