TUNIA’S TRIUMPH (E. Both)88***— 
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^ 
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. We started its winning career 
in U. S. with firsts at both Ind. and Ohio, 
’38. Our 1st Md.,’39. Each L $1.00 M.50

^ "At our show (S.A.G.S.) Tunia's Triumph with seven 
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., Torrensiille, 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 (o prominent Victoria 
exhibitor) 
“Tunia's Triumph has already proved a wonderful 
parent. A number of its seedlings are very outstanding 
and are likely to create a sensation when released as you 
already know.” E. B., Adelaide, So. Australia. 
“We liked your Tunia's Triumph immensely. It is 
gorgeous, lovely.” 8-3-38. Mrs. J.R.C., Hayward,

VELA (Heemskerk) 80 *+tt Dec. Com. 
Long spikea with beautifully arranged 
flowers of scarlet red, rosy toned, blotched 
deeper though not very conspiciously. 
Very good cut flower habits with us. 
Excellent propagator, blooms well from 
the smaller sizes and even freely from 
bulblets. For us it marks the passing of 
the good variety. Red Phipps, F.C.C.,

RED 
COMMANDER KOEHL 88 Exh. 
Clear, rich, crimson red. Has been con¬ 
sidered among the best ten glads for years 
in spite of a weak tendency in the stem. 
It is 4th in the N.E.G.S. symp. now, and 
tops its color section, though nosed out by 
Rewi Fallu in the C.G.S. We have record 
of 12 firsts among the shows we are report¬ 
ing and grand champion at Calgary, all 
’38. Ten Ists, including ours at Md., 
’39. L.06(100,4.00) Bits (100,.15) 
HINDENBURG’S MEMORY 90 ***— 
Exh. Com. Deep scarlet red, buds a velvet 
blood red. Deeper red than Red Phipps 
or Tip Top. Somewhat lighter than Com. 
Koehl. Holds 6-7 well expanded florets 
over 6 inches dia. on a strong, tall stem. 
Excellent placement and easily the best 
exhibition variety in the red section. This 
is Pfitzer’s own wonderful improvement 
on Com. Koehl both in color, size and stem. 
A. M. Haarlem, ’36. Only a matter of time 
and this will be in any list of “the ten best 
glads.’’ We have started it on its winning 
career, Ohio, ’39. Each L $1.50 M 1.00

REWI FALLU 98 ***—fft Exh. A deep, 
blood red of very large size, opening 8-10 
florets in the field on vigorous plants 53^ 
to 6 ft. tall. Blooms from bits, frequently. 
Bloom from the first bulb was champion 
seedling at So. Australia G.S., ’32. We 
do not hesitate to render opinion that this 
variety will be sensationally publicized 
by all who see it. Good propagator. 
The above is what we said 2 years ago but 
things have happened since that. It has 
jumped to the top of the C.G.S. sympo¬ 
sium, even ahead of the redoubtable 
Picardy and, of course, tops its color sec¬ 
tion there. We are not prepared to admit 
that this is the world’s greatest variety. 
Time will bring some of the newer ones to 
the front. But right now you must obtain 
some stock of this. Cedar Rapids and 
Yakima, ’38. The parade begins. Ists
