Fire Gleam Cream Orchids 
from the tendency of Autumn Moon to show the stem. 
Nevertheless, it is a most impressive light yellow and 
sure to be a frequent show winner because of its im- 
mense size and ease of growth. Illustrated on page 29.

Babs wz & *& (210) (R. Pruitt, 1945) (65 days) 
ee Babs may be described as a midget 
Aureole. Its trim little spikes of ruffled light yellow 
are delightful for make-up work. A valuable extra- 
early cutter. One of the finest small-flowered glads. 
We rate it two dots for commercial value only because 
too few florists realize the value of small-flowered 
glads.

Beauty’s Blush 7 
(440) (Fischer, 1947) (75 days) (Margaret Beaton x 
Choice Seedling) It’s not often that a glad is tops in 
both beauty and performance. Too often the most 
beautiful ones are not the easiest growers, or, if easily 
grown, their florets are so heavy they cannot stand the 
rough handling involved in shipment. Similarly, the 
varieties that ship the best are often a trifle on the 
plain side in the eye of the fancier. So it is a special 
pleasure to find a few glads like Beauty’s Blush that 
are both supremely beautiful and commercial aces.

Beauty’s Blush is a sparkling, frosty white exquisitely 
and faintly blushed a cool rose-pink. A touch of cream 
warms the throat. The whole effect is as delicate as 
the blush on a young girl’s cheek, as exquisite as the 
tint of sunset on sparkling, new-fallen snow. From 
seven to nine serenely carved, round, plain-petalled 
florets are open at once on wonderfully stretchy spikes, 
regularly five feet tall. Florists love Beauty’s Blush 
because the pink, white, and cream in it echo the tones 
of deeper pinks, rose shades, and snowy white, making 
this the ideal “blender” when the buying public seeks 
the usual variety of colors. When used alone, Beauty’s 
Blush is truly “the pastel of pastels”. Make this one 
of the cornerstones of your glad collection.
