ORIENTAL PEARL (506) Carlson ‘46 (85) 
Called the Wonder glad of 1946. We have received several enthusias- 
tic reports from our customers about this variety. Its outstanding 
trait is its ability to make well attached 7 inch florets. Its plain 
cream color and few open florets evidently will not detract too much 
from its popularity. If you like them big—try this. L 20c; M 12c;
