Attention, Catalogers: 
In order to peek into the future of these and still newer varieties, one needs to watch for 
trends forward, from year to year. The runners-up need watching, too, particularly Miss New 
Zealand, Reverie, Gate of Heaven, Duna, D. A. Hay, Tip Top, all rating “A.” Other varieties 
given an “A” rating (but less than 20% of the voters able to report) include Allegro, Fairy 
Tale, Gertrude Swenson, Heiligtum, Maunga, Milford, Okarina, Rudolf Serkin, Southport, 
Takina, 3 L O, Whero and Vagabond Prince. 
We want to declare our opinion here and now, having bloomed almost all for two or more 
seasons, that the following sorts will push into the limelight as fast as propagation and price 
will permit their dissemination, namely, Betsy Bob-Up, Blue Light (Pf.), Green Light (Pf.), 
Heiligtum, Jersey Cream, La Fiesta, Maunga, Mrs. C. P. Worley, Oeganda, Rewi Fallu, Rudolf 
Serkin, Shirley Temple, Stapleford, Whero. 
For accuracy of prediction, witness our being the first or among the first to offer and very 
highly recommend Frank J. McCoy, Miss New Zealand, Mary Elizabeth, Rosemarie Pfitzer, 
Star of Bethlehem, Magna Blanca, Red Phipps, Salbach’s Orchid, Tip Top, Mrs. H. Bromley 
Ambler, D. A. Hay and Polar Ice. 
In return for this “tip on the glad market” endeavoring to direct your investment into 
profitable channels, all we ask is a share of your patronage. 
GRAND CHAMPION BLOOMS 
Some (not many) hybridizers and catalog¬ 
ers are very loose in their use of the words 
“Winners,” “Champions,” etc. For your own 
protection, scrutinize these assertions closely 
and see if the winning is identified to time 
and place. An honest introducer of new var¬ 
ieties will be reasonably sure to specify rather 
than generalize or use language intended to 
deceive. 
In recent years a few of the larger shows 
have provision for Com’l. Div. Champions 
in the Exh., Dec. and Sm. Dec. types, repeat¬ 
ing the 3 champions in the Advanced Amateur 
Div. Topping off these, some shows make 
further provision for Grand Champion Bloom 
of the Show. Some shows, notably the Ohio 
and Mahoning, have provision for Grand 
Champion Seedling Bloom. 
We search the world for winners. We dis¬ 
close authentic Champions. If we have missed 
any, will hybridizers advise us to their ad¬ 
vantage?
