GUIDEBOOK FOR 1942 
MR. C. P. VAN TIENHOVEN (Duijn) *** 
—ttt Exh. Brilliant, glossy, corn peppy 
red, darker in throat. Has done no crook- 
ing ‘for us but understand it does to some 
extent in the southern half of the northern 
border states. Up here it should make a 
semi-commercial with giant blooms at 
little cost. Plant deeply as the giant, 
round florets catch a lot of wind. In fact, 
our florets of this reach the so- called 
‘‘super-colossal’”’ designation. L .10 (100, 
7.00) Blts (100, .50). 
PERKY (Hubler) 85 —tt Sm. Dec. This 
little glad is too good to pass up. Color is 
clean scarlet. Holds 5-8 open florets which 
are winged and average 214-3 inches dia. 
Makes large bulblets which bloom without 
much coddling. Foliage is in keeping with 
the florets, as is the stem which is slender 
and wiry. Received the only Award of 
Merit given by the Ohio society in ’41. 
Bulbs L or M each 50c Net.

This outstanding Exh. and Commercial 
glad is an orange scarlet with some 
creamy white in the throat. Has excellent 
substance, wide open, perfectly formed

rigidly on a very tall, wiry stem. Quite an 
easy matter to pick a perfect 100% Exh. 
spike with eight or more 6 inch florets 
open in double row formation. 22 buds.

TUNIA’S TRIUMPH (E. Both) 88***—fft 
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 714 
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

“At our show (S.A.G.S.) Tunia’s Triumph with seven 
eight-inch blooms, perfectly 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. 
“Tunia’s Triumph is the largest en I have ever grown, 
ee I only managed 6 open.’’ E. J. F., Melbourne, Aus- 
tralia 
“T had a Tunia’s Triumph with first floret 834 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 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, Calif. 
WALK-OVER 80 ***— {tt Exh. Com. 
Glistening red, deeper than Tip Top. 
Huge, round florets, reminiscent of Mac 
but still bigger. Excellent spikes from the 
smaller sizes, unlike Tip Top. Excellent 
propagator. Excellent cut flower habits, 
as well. B.G.S., ’36. Voted best medium- 
early glad, all colors and types, by Holland 
Bulb Grower's Ass’n. Plants mature early 
and should be dug a bit early. This 
variety deserves vastly more attention 
that it has been getting and now that 
the price is modest, many will now learn 
what a grand glad this is. Only a few 
wins recorded as yet and the first in U.S. 
was ours in ’39 at Mah. Two in ’41, at 
Ohio and S. E. Mich: L .15 M .10.'8 .05 
Blts (100, .60).
