**__+t A brilliant glad of  Pfitzer’s 
Triumph origin. Clear, deep, orange toned 
rosy scarlet, blotched deeper. Produces 
immense florets even from small bulbs. 
After two years of good propagation, the 
third fell off materially, so until we have 
more experience with it we cannot be sure 
it qualifies for cut flower purposes. We 
started its winning career in U. S. at 
S. E. Mich., ’40, following with another at 
the 2nd Ohio show, ’41. To protect stocks 
for further propagation we will offer large 
bulbs only this year. L .50. 
JOH S. BACH 78 **—t+ttt Exh. Orange 
salmon, shading bit lighter in throat. 
White median lines. Tall and strong. 
Huge, well arranged flowerhead. 10-12 
open at once. The earliest, extremely 
large flowering sort within our knowledge.
