TUNIA’S TRIUMPH (E. Both) 88 ***—fU 
Exh. Today the world’s most sensational 
glad. Starting its career, it won the Fallu 
Cup and Grand Champion Seedling award 
at the South Australia, ’34 show. Aus¬ 
tralian fans have been spellbound with 
this flower ever since. The color, light 
orange scarlet with a sheen approaching 
metallic bronze, a self color. Florets 7 H 
to 8 inches, 7 to 9 open, 21 buds. The 
huge florets are perfectly faced and placed. 
The spike grows 5 ft. or taller, perfectly 
straight and the heavy texture enables 
the florets to withstand hot, drying winds. 
Makes a strong, well foliaged plant that 
requires no staking. Good propagator, 
young bulbs producing from 30 to 50 
bulblets. With a bold, arresting bloom 
having every desirable exhibition quality, 
this variety shows every evidence of being 
unstoppable. See illustration. We started 
its winning career in U. S. with firsts at 
both Ind. and Ohio, ’38. L 3.50 M 2.25
