MISS NEW ZEALAND 93 ***—tfJt Exh. 
First offered in U. S. by Dr. Barber and by 
us in 1934 at $30. per bulb. All catalogers 
scrambling for stocks to list ever since. 
Color difficult to describe or classify. A 
deep pink suffused rose with some ground 
color of dark apricot salmon. A distinc¬ 
tive throat of color of a ripe peach. We 
have grown long spikes with 10 open 
florets, as many more in bud, the three 
lower florets a full 8 inches diameter, the 
other seven tapering off to 7 inches. Ex¬ 
cellent substance, straight spikes, power¬ 
ful grower, acclimates easily and a good 
propagator even from large bulbs. Aban¬ 
doning long list of awards for a fresh start. 
See Champion Bloom records ahead. 
Only Picardy and F. J. McCoy have 
records as good. Ohio, Mich., N.E.G.S., 
Winnipeg, Wellsville, Wise., E.N.Y.G.S., 
and our ‘‘best spike, mammoth type”, 
Md., also Grand Champion N.Z.G.S. 
(2nd day) and at Launceston, Tas., 
where it was shown with 12 open, all ’39.

PICARDY 90 **—Ut Exh. Long, straight 
spikes of clear light salmon, not far re¬ 
moved from apricot buff. Has been con¬ 
sidered the world’s most popular glad for 
about 5 years, and so often grand champion 
spike that we refer you to our page re¬ 
cording grand champions to conserve 
space. Easy propagation makes the price 
seem ridiculous and a waste of time to 
bother with bulbs in the smaller sizes. In 
’37 our ranking Ohio amateur exhibitor, 
Mrs. J. Sherwin, won the 3 spike and 10 
spike vases in the open div. of the Canadian 
national show with spikes of Picardy that 
fairly startled the Canadian folk, though 
Picardy is ‘‘at home” up there. One of 
our 3 winning spikes of Picardy in the Ohio 
’38 show was Com. Sectional Exh. champ 
but it failed to beat our spike of Dazzler 
for Grand Champion. 1st in N.E.G.S. and 
2nd e.G.S. Symposiums and tops color 
class in both. See records of champions.
