New Introductions 
HEIRLOOM (Klein) (566-75 to 80 days) 
How can words describe the beauty and magnificence of this 
Glad? Heirloom is a breathtaking rose-orchid or orchid-lavender in 
color, crystal clear, with absolutely no flecking. If Heirloom had 
nothing else, its color alone would make it an outstanding introduc- 
tion. BUT Heirloom not only has exquisite color, it has everything. 
Heirloom comes close to being the perfect Glad. It produces mag- 
nificent spikes from all size bulbs, even small bulbs and bulblets 
produce spikes of 14 to 19 buds, while medium and large bulbs pro- 
duce 5-foot tall spikes of 23 to 25 buds. 
Heirloom comes close to being the perfect Glad. It produces mag- 
but not heavily ruffled, has wonderful texture and will open ten 
5%-inch florets with practically all the rest of the florets showing 
color. It can be cut in tight bud and will open right to the tip, and 
it does not fade when opened indoors. Bulblet production and 
germination are both excellent. Heirloom blooms in 75 to 80 days.
