GOLD (412) Marshall ‘51 (80) 
The rich, deep yellow that cutflower growers have long awaited. Opens 
up to 8 neatly ruffled florets of perfect attachment, substance, and texture. 
Grows very tall, vigorous, and healthy. Number of buds not over 17, 
usually 14. Produces plenty of large bulblets which germinate easily 
and make robust growth. Makes beautiful bulbs. We supplied the 
Louisville, Ky. market with a few dozen spikes of Gold and the im- 
mediate inquiry was: “When can you supply Gold in quantity? It is 
the most beautiful yellow we ever handled. When glads were a glut 
on the market we were able to get twice as much for Gold as for any 
other flower.” 
If you are a cutflower grower you owe it to yourself to get a start in this 
most beautiful of all yellows. Highly regarded by all who have seen it.
