of an occasional misplaced 1st floret.

“/ have been professor of color theory and design at the 
Cleveland School of Art for the past eleven years and have 
probably never been so thrilled by any one color as pure

TUNIA’S TRIUMPH (E. Both) 88***—fit 
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 handful of 
growers who have been privileged to grow 
it 2 years here in U. S., pending Release, 
have likewise marveled. The color, light 
orange scarlet with a sheen approaching 
metallic bronze, a self color. Florets 7 ^ 
to 8 inches, 7 to 9 open, 21 buds. The 
huge florets are perfectly faced and placed. 
The spike grows 5 ft. or taller, perfectl)'’ 
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. Ea. L$7.00

“At our show (5.A.G..S.) Tunia's Triumph with sei>en 
eight-inch blooms, petfectly placed, simply dwarfed such 
large varieties as Mrs. S. A. Errey and its magnetism 
held the public three and four deep throughout the show.” 
C. H., Torrensville, S. A. 
“Tunia’s Triumph is the largest glad I have ever 
grown, though I only managed 6 open.” E. J. F., Mel¬ 
bourne, Australia, 
“/ had a Tunia's Triumph with first floret 8^ inches 
across and 8 open.” Mr. Menzies {a prominent Victoria 
exhibitor) 
“Tunia’s Triumph has already proved a wonderful 
parent. A number of its seedlings are very outstanding 
and are likley to create a sensation when released as you 
already know.” E. B., Adelaide, So. Australia.
