PHAROAH 
Glad Acres is pleased to present to you our first origination to attain national recognition. 
This tall, glowing pink salmon is beyond doubt one of the foremost new varieties since 
the introduction of Picardy and we expect to see Pharoah replace Picardy in many gardens and 
large commercial plantings. : 
So impressed was Paul Baker of Gladland Acres, Lebanon, Oregon with Pharoah that he 
is making it his only introduction for 1950. 
We could fill this whole catalog with trial garden and show reports and reports from 
well known growers all over the country singing the praises of Pharoah. 
If you have the February issue of Flower Grower handy, read what Mr. ‘‘Mike’’ Sherman 
says Of Pharoah. 
PHAROAH HAS WON THE FOLLOWING AWARDS IN SEEDLING CLASS 
“A” rating and Award of Commendation at Massachusetts, Connecticut and NEGS, 
Boston. ‘‘A’’ rating at Jersey. ‘‘A—”’ rating at Binghamton. Best Seedling at Minnesota, 
scoring 87. Blue Ribbon at Wisconsin. Seconds at Nebraska, West Virginia, Pennsyl- 
vania, Tri-State, Illinois. In this last show in Illinois it scored 81.1, being runner-up to a 
variety scoring 82 which is being introduced this season at $5.00 per bulb. Entered in 
color classes won First in both one spike and three spike at Indiana. First in New York 
City. First in recent introductions at Binghamton. First for longest spike at Michigan. 
We have carefuliy checked the detail trial reports from expert growers in the following 
states: Oklahoma, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Rhode Island, Maryland, Wisconsin, 
Michigan, Oregon, Washington, New Jersey and New York. An average of the performances 
in all of these states gives us the following data: 
Field height 63.” Flowerhead 30.” Floret size, 534.” Number of buds, 19. Number 
open, 7. From NACC trial records bloom was from 87 to 97 days from planting. 
The plant has vigor, fine substance, splendid color, a glowing pink-salmon with cream 
yellow throat and yellow mid-ribs. One of the most beautiful this year of the 700 varieties 
in our trials. Shows great resistance to heat and drouth.- (Beulah Fortnam lists it as one of 
the few that could take the drouth this last summer). Straight stems, stretchy spike, per- 
fection of placement, good attachment. Bloomed equally well in soils varying from sand to 
clay. It was highly praised in Oklahoma where only the sturdiest of the glads can make show 
quality spikes. As a commercial it should prove one of the greatest recent introductions as 
it ships well, opens perfectly from tight buds and is a prolific propagator, averaging more than 
50 bulblets from bulb in the NACG 2-year trials.

The price for 1950 and 1951 will be $1.00 per bulb, any size, bulblets at 10 cents.
