Here’s one | like especially well. 
“It is with pleasure that I report the grand success we enjoyed this season with your in- 
troductions, especially Spic and Span. Its grand growing habits, its tall, erect spikes that are 
always straight, its ability to open 10 out of 23 buds, its beautiful mffled, deep salmon-pink 
florets and its fine propagating qualities, make it a super glad. The florist who purchased our 
blooms raved about it and when available always used it for his window decorations. It is destined 
to become the leading pink commercial variety. 
**Spic and Span is sensational at the exhibitions and won more prizes for us in one season 
than any other variety we have ever shown. At the Hawkesburg District Show, where high-quality 
prevails, it won us first in the 3-spike salmon class, champion spike in the recent introduction 
section and Grand Champion spike of the show. At the Province of Quebec show at Montreal it 
also won for us lst in its 3-spike class and runner-up for champion spike in the Recent Intro- 
duction section. 
‘Hearts Desire also was awarded first in its class in the recent introduction section. It is 
certainly a leader among the pinks today, and is truly a beautiful, artistic flower. May you con- 
tinue to introduce such sensational varieties.”’

Oriental Pearl is a good glad, but it does create 
some problems in marketing. The extremely large 
florets make it a little too big for handling on the 
regular commercial market, and the florets are also a 
little too brittle for the rough handling they receive. 
However, it is very valuable for cut flower growers 
who sell and deliver direct to retail shops, or for 
sale at roadside stands. Many such growers have 
written to me that they always sell every Spike of 
Oriental Pearl they are able to grow and that it has 
been one of their best money-makers. 
Oriental Pearl grows very tall and will open four 
or five of the largest and nicest florets you have ever 
seen. It propagates fast and is easy-growing. You 
will gain a lot of pleasure by growing this fine glad.
