GOLD 
Gold is the wonderful, rich yellow so highly regarded by many of the leading growers. Beautiful beyond words, it is tall, 
straight, healthy, and has perfect attachment and placement. In vigor, health, plant growth and propagation, it is similar to 
Orange Gold, one of its parents. 
The substance of Gold is so firm that | have cut spikes in 95 degree heat of the afternoon sun that were crisp and upright 
when other varieties were limp and wilted. It holds its gorgeous color and size to the very tip. Gold is a very strong grower 
from bulblets and makes beautiful bulbs. We get practically no 5s and 6s. 
It you sell cutflowers don't fail to get started at once in this fine, deep yellow. A start now will enable you to build up a 
good stock in a few seasons when the demand will be tremendous. It will certainly put you in good standing with your florist or 
wholesale house. (Gold is pictured and fully described in our 1952 catalogue.)

TYRONE 
Introduced without a great deal of ballyhoo, | think Tyrone is a top notch lavender. | have had my eye on this for the 
past 4 years and jumped at the chance to buy part of the stock last year. Tyrone differs from most lavenders in that it is a 
strong, vigorous grower, has a stretchy flowerhead of 20 to 24 buds, has plenty of stem beneath the flowerhead, and produces 
healthy bulbs. In addition, it opens perfectly when cut tight, is an unusually good keeper, and a good propagator. 
Tyrone produces tall, No. | spikes with a uniformity seldom seen in lavenders. It is highly recommended. (Pictured and 
more fully described in our 1952 catalogue.)

SWEET SIXTEEN 
Seldom do we find such superlative commercial qualities, together with a true, pure pink color, as are evident in Sweet 
Sixteen. This is definitely one of the top 4 or 5 commercial pinks. Like Beauty's Blush, of which it is a sport, Sweet Sixteen 
throws perfect spikes right down the row. It is a regular performer and an A-| cutter and is made to order for florist use. (Fully 
described in our 1952 catalogue.)
