A new shade of lavender rose that is very attractive. Opens 6 to 8 large

ORIENTAL PEARL (Carlson-Puerner) 506 (M) 
Extremely large florets of a distinctive old-ivory shade characterize this 
fine variety, The color, which in some climates is said to be somewhat 
muddy, is very clear and attractive here. Opens 5 or 6 huge bell-like 
florets on tall spikes. Nice close placement, attachment quite good. Should 
be a wonderful variety for large baskets and massive decorations, and 
makes a marvelous display in the garden.

An entirely new combination of colors; a really unique glad. Brilliant 
orange-red twin blotches surrounded by yellow light up the background 
of salmon orange. Florets are nicely frilled, of 5 inch size with 7 or 8

PASTEL (Both) 480 (M) 
A very pretty smoky lavender gray. Practically a self color, altho a 
light infusion of other pastel shades keeps it from seeming dull. Quite 
large, round florets. Stem is tall and quite heavy, inclined to lop over 
some unless planted deep. 6-7 five inch or larger flowers open. 
L .25, M 2—.25, S 4.25, Bulblets 20—.25, 100—3$1.00 
PATROL (Palmer) 316 (M) 
One of Palmer’s very best, a variety that is fast gaining in popularity. 
Beautiful clear golden buff with yellow throat. Florets are regularly placed, 
tightly attached, and of very heavy substance. Will open 8 or 9 in the 
field, and spikes are tall and straight. A very consistent producer of 
model spikes. All of our Patrol measured 4% inches or larger in floret 
size, placing it in the 416 class. 
L $1.00, M .60, S .40, Bulblets 4—.25, 10 
PENELOPE (Deam-Gove) 466 (M) 
While we haven’t seen much of this variety yet, it appeared very promising 
in our last summer’s trials. A rather deep mauve lavender with a small 
white center. Makes a nice compact spike with 6 or more medium-large 
(around 4% inch) flowers open on good fairly tall stems. The color is 
different and very pleasing. 
M $2.00, S $1.50, Bulblets .25, 10—$2.00 
PERDITA (Grout) 313 (ML) 
Not a large glad, but a very pretty one. Deep golden yellow with a bright 
red feather describes the color. Should easily win at the shows in the 
312 classes, and is a real attraction in the garden. The stem did not 
stretch up very tall for us, but this is a common failing with many new 
varieties the first year tested, Florets about 4 inches in diameter. 
L $250, M $2.00, S $1.50, Bulblets .25, 10—$2.00
