Strong grower that we have had a lot of good reports on. Clear light yellow self, 
that opens 6 to 8 well placed florets on a 20 bud spike. Looks like this is one of Mr. 
Chase’s_ best. 
OCTOBER SUNSHINE (Quackenbush 47) 420—85 
This glad will become a leader because of its beauty. The color blends from orange 
to a golden yellow throat. It opens from 5 to 6 recurved florets on an 18 bud spike 
with 8 showing color. The 52 inch spike is always straight. 
OKLAHOMA (Wilson 45) 386-90 é 
Another “WHAT A GLAD” color marvel that holds a spell over all who see it. It is a 
pinkish-lilac or lavender-grey with a cream throat. It opens seven on an 18 bud spike 
with perfect placement. Grows about 50 inches tall. 
ORANGE GOLD (Marshall 45) 422-80 
Here is a wonderful glad of golden-orange shade that will open 5 large round florets 
on a tall spike. This is among the best of the new glads and really will win your 
approval. 
ORION (Chase) 510-85 
Giant light yellow, that some growers have stocked up on as a cut flower prospect. 
Seems to be a good healthy grower. Will open 6 to 8 large well placed blooms. 
PADRE (Leffingewell 41) 421-85 
Light orange shading to yellow with a darker blotch. Opens up to 12 blooms on a 20 
bud spike. Odd and attractive. Visitors like this. 
PARTHIENA (Hitchcock 49) 568—80 
A striking deep mauve—lavender. It will open 8-10 on a 55 inch spike with a long 
flowerhead. The 53 inch blooms are perfectly placed and are ruffled and fluted. A 
sensational show winner, winning all sorts of top awards. A very healthy and fast 
increaser, 
PATRICIAN (Sheer 47) 566—87 
Beautiful co’ored lavender that is inclined to have short flowerheads. Florets are 
round, wide open with perfect placement. A tremendous propagator. 
PAYMASTER (E. H. Young 47) 470-85 
A real royal purple with one narrow clear cream spear on each lip petal. A strong 
grower with 534 inch plain, wide open florets on a 60 inch spike with 18 buds, 28 inch 
flowerhead. It has life and is a real good purple. 
PICARDY (Palmer 31) 530-90 
The well known Picardy is a beautiful light salmon-pink. I have not offered this for 
the past five years, but now have a healthy strain of this glad that will produce mar- 
velous spikes. 
POLYNESIE (K. & M. 49) 480—90 
A pure salmor, deeper than Picardy, with yellow throat with salmon blotch. Very 
good texture. Opens up to 10 on tall spikes, should be able to take the place of Picardy 
because of its good health and habits. 
PRESIDENT TRUMAN (Salmon 48) 540-95 
Light blush pink with salmon-white base. Opers 8 on a tall spike. The huge florets are 
beautiful, reaching 7 inches across, have heavy texture and are well placed on a long 
head with 26 to 30 buds. 
PREVIEW (Marshall 48) 462—85 
Large brilliant cerise-rose blending to white in the throat. Strong healthy plants with 
7 open on long flowerheads. Preview is different and I predict will be a favorite for 
years to come. 
RED CHARM (Butt 39) 452—85 
Medium deep red opening up to 6-8 on a tall spike. This is one of the best glads. 
You should be sure to grow this one. One of the most consistent growers.
