Heart O’ Gold (355) (sino 
((Maid of Orleans x Picardy) K Lavender 
and Gold) (Seedling No. 21-42) 
Did you ever, as a child, receive a copy of 
the New Testament bound in white leather 
and stamped in gold? If you are familiar 
with such bindings, you will recollect what 
a beautiful color combination white and yel- 
low are, combining as they do an effect of 
purity with an effect of richness. This color 
combination has been lacking in glads ex- 
cept for Mt. Index, which has a small yellow 
throat marking. Heart O’ Gold, however, 
has a large butter-yellow throat blotch on a 
snowy white ground. The effect is strikingly 
beautiful. The rich golden throat blends 
softly into the immaculate whiteness. Lovely 
as sunlight on new-fallen snow. 
One of the largest cut-flower growers in 
the country who had this on trial wanted to 
buy the entire stock; said it was the second 
earliest thing to bloom in his field. But I 
preferred to let everyone have the pleasure 
of growing this distinctive new variety. 
The basket of Heart O’ Gold on our inside 
front cover was photographed on July 12— 
which may not seem early to our Southern 
customers but really is mighty early for 
Minnesota. Note the beautiful clean-cut 
styling of Heart O’ Gold and the long 
stretchy spikes. A good propagator, too, but 
not in the class of Noweta Rose in this re- 
spect. 
Any size, each, $2; 12 for $20. 
1L, 1M, 1S, 10 Blbts. for $6. 
5L, 5M, 15S, 100 Blbts. for $40.

460) (Fisch- 
Lavender Lace cr 1990) (85 
days) (Elizabeth the Queen x Poet’s Dream) 
(Seedling No. 53-46) 
Here is a glad reminiscent of the Gay 
Nineties, the era of fragrant lavender and 
old lace. It is the first of a series of out- 
standing large lavenders which we have 
coming along. Lavender Lace is very similar 
in size, height, and color to Elizabeth the 
Queen, but is more beautiful, inheriting 
much of the waxy texture and purity of 
throat of that truly ethereal lavender, Poet’s 
Dream. When well grown it is quite in- 
tensely ruffled, creating a beautifully lacy 
effect. A lavender as beautiful as Poet’s 
Dream or Wedgwood, but in the 400 size 
class. Excellent propagator. A real acquisi- 
tion in the weak lavender class. 
Any size, each, $2; 12 for $20. 
1L, 1M, 1S, 10 Blbts. for $6. 
OL, 5M, 15S, 100 Blbts. for $40.
