Bridal Orchid 
As predicted when Bridal Orchid was first introduced, this variety 
is easily capable of winning grand championships. A few such 
winners are shown here. Bridal Orchid is a glad which you 
should not pamper nor over feed. It is a vigorous grower and as 
your stock increases you will discover that it does best from 
young bulbs, even from the small sizes. All of my glads are 
grown with very limited amounts of fertilizer. This past season 
we had our best results from unfertilized fields. I can refer you 
to commercial growers who say that Bridal Orchid was one of 
their leading cut flowers for shipping; that it produced the tall 
spikes needed for their markets and that it opened exceptionally 
well when cut in bud and shipped. Bridal Orchid is a very 
healthy variety and makes nice, clean bulbs. Propagates well, 
germinates easily. I can show you kodachromes of long rows 
of this beautiful glad in the field which tell the story of its fine 
performance.
