(85 days) Of Salman’s many rose-reds, this one is the 
best. Very similar to Nila in both color and form, but 
perhaps a trifle more vigorous. Those long ribbons of 
silken, deep rose-red blooms are mighty effective.

Heart O’ Gold 23s 1 5 
(65 days) ((Maid of Orleans x Picardy) X Lavender & 
Gold) Here is a glad with an original color combina- 
tion: snowy white with golden butter-bells patted into 
the throat of each flower. Discriminating fanciers rate 
Heart O’Gold high. Of special value as a commercial 
because of its earliness. Pictured on page 14.

“Heart O’Gold has outsold all of last season’s intro- 
ductions. It is a most beautiful thing, and was more 
or less overlooked in the raving which went on over 
Noweta Rose, but one cannot overestimate the value 
of Heart O’Gold for either commercial use or exhibi- 
tion. I think it was my choice for last season, opening 
early, with perfectly exquisite blooms, not big and 
showy, but with a delicacy and freshness which made 
it stand out.”

Heart’s Desire 22% (510) Gied- 
ler - Puer- 
ner, 1948) (80 days) (Picardy x Rosemarie Pfitzer) 
Another supremely beautiful glad, rivaling Gorgeous 
Deb! But this time it is a warm, waxy, pastel salmon 
with creamy-yellow throat. Heart’s Desire will open 
up to eight rather triangular, heavy-substanced, beau- 
tifully ruffled florets on superb spikes. You’ll have to 
see Heart’s Desire with your own eyes to believe that 
such a beautiful glad exists.

King Alfre oF 090 (3) free (Amrita x 
D. A. Hay) Salmon-pink glads are numerous; actual 
salmon ones are rather rare. King Alfred belongs to 
the latter class. Its warm yellow-pink color set off by 
a small sharp cream blotch, the heavy substance of its 
large triangular florets, its waxy texture and moderate 
ruffling make it a king indeed. A partially open spike 
is pictured on page 20.

King David OO 1951) (85 days) 
(King Lear Seedling) Here isa really magnificent new 
purple which may well deserve top rating after we have 
seen more of it. King David is a glorified King Lear, 
with less red in it, with wider-open florets and far 
better attachment, but with the same silver picotee 
edge and the same lustrous sheen.

Lady Anne ORO Oe 1047) 0n Gays) 
(Maid of Orleans x Dinah Shore) This early white 
with distinct cream throat makes a marvelous ribbon 
of bloom, as witness our illustration on page 21. Some 
glads seem to deteriorate; some seem to hold their 
own; others get better year after year. Lady Anne 
belongs to the last named group. This fine commercial 
was one of our four best whites last summer (the 
others: Florence Nightingale, Mother Fischer, and 
Fiorentine).

Ladykiller ~~ 1948) (75 days) This 
tiny arrangement glad might be called a miniature 
Pactolus in an orange shade, though the round, red 
blotches are less distinct than in the case of Pactolus. 
Ladykiller is a dapper little number and will no doubt 
slay the ladies—at least those who are vulnerable to 
charming little arrangement glads.
