GRAND CHAMPION BLOOMS 
The Grand Champion Bloom of the Show 
is, ipso facto, a sweepstakes award to the 
best spike in the Exhibition, wherever found. 
A mere class calling for specific entry there 
of blooms, the best of which is to be labeled 
‘‘Champion spike’, is plain bunk and publiciz- 
ing such a mere class winner as the “Grand 
Champion”’ is very misinforming. 
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?
