Do You Love the Golden-orange Color of the California Poppy? 
There Is One Glad Which Has It: LITTLE GOLD 
Orange Prince x_* (324) ancy 1945) (80 days) (Sport of Vagabond 
® Prince) brilliant scarlet mutation of Vagabond 
Prince and a companion of Hawkeye Red. A nice variety for cutting. Vigorous and 
prolific. (L 1-.20; 10-1.50) CM 1-.15; 10-1.00) (S 2-.20; 10-.50) (Blbts. Pkg. .35) 
Oriental Pear] i : (506) (Carlson, 1946) (85 days) (Picardy x Un- 
¢ known) I never could understand what others saw 
in this robust pearly cream giant until I saw several outstanding spikes of it at the Min- 
nesota Glad Show last summer. Grown by the originator, they personified dignity and 
character. With me it is more restrained in its charm. Oriental Pearl is raised in quantity 
by several cut-flower growers. (L 2-.25; 10-1.00) CM 10-.50) (S 10-.25) (Blbts. Pkg. .25) 
a” *& * *k (416) (K. & M., 1947) (80 days) The most spectacular 
Pactolus e ¢ ¢ ¢ blotched variety ever introduced. Its prominent scarlet 
blotch on a warm buff ground reminds one of the departing sun swimming in the liquid 
amber of the evening sky. Or one might call it the pansy glad, since the blotches cover 
almost as much of the petals as the blotches of pansies. A good grower that readily opens 
eight beautifully ruffled flat-open round blooms. The name was taken from the brook in Asia 
Minor where, according to legend, King Croesus found his wealth. No up-to-date glad 
collection is complete without this stunning European origination. Pictured on page 32. 
(L 1-1.75; 10-14.00) CM 1-1.25; 10-10.00) (S 1-.80; 10-6.40) (Blbts. 2-.45; 10-1.80) 
xk (342) (B. Palmer, 1940) (85 days) ((Paul Pfitzer x H. Kanz- 
Pandora °e ¢ ¢ ¢ leiter) X Picardy) This soft coral with inconspicuous blotch 
comes from Prof. Palmer’s sister. We love it for its harmonious beauty and freedom from 
faults. A happy grower and spiker. Pandora deserves more fame than it has received. 
(L 3-.25; 10-.70) (M 10-.40) (S 10-.25) (Blbts. Pkg. .20)
