TREASURY GOLD 
Betty Nuthall X Pfitzer’s Triumph 
(90 Days) ... This big exhibition clear rich golden 
salmon self has been causing a real sensation at the 
shows and at our gardens the past two years. Cut 
flower dealers are hounding us to grow it in larger 
quantities for them, which we probably will. Very 
strong grower in both bulb and foliage. Foliage makes 
nine leaves standing 46 inches tall. Bulb large and 
fine shaped with heavy ruffled husk. Our planting 
of No. 1-2 sizes last summer averaged a height of 
six feet overall, with flowerhead 36 inches and up to 
27 buds, eight or better open, 6 inch floret. Strong 
propagator. Blts. small but germinate close to 100 per 
cent and grow well. On a commercial basis you can 
not invest your dollars to any better advantage. A lot 
will be heard from Treasury Gold at the shows in the 
next few years. Winnings 1939—American Home 
Ach., one spike of which was champion sdlg. and 
runner up show champ. on the second ballot of judges. 
Many thought it easily champion. We had to show 
the first three spikes to bloom, no other choice. 1940— 
First best spike Ohio origination, first three spike open, 
first R. I. sec. champ. We exhibited the first five spikes 
to bloom, entered in three classes, all going to judging 
table to compete for show champion, where it was 
beaten on a very difficult decision by our own entry 
of King Click. All at Ohio State. First three spike 
open, one spike of which was best one spike open ex. 
sec. champion, second R. I. to a marvelous spike— 
our own entry—of Ohio Nonpareil at Empire State. 
Vote of Commendation Md. Trial Garden. 1941— 
First one spike and first three spike open Southeastern 
Mich. First three spike open which was champion 
three spike ex. of show, and tallest spike in show 
Ohio State. First three spike open Empire State. First 
N. E. G. S. Boston. First open and first R. I. Wisconsin 
State. Vote of Commendation W. V. Trial Garden. 
Our three spikes taken to Midwest were too tall for 
the truck and were badly damaged. For those that 
did not see them we might mention we had Treasury 
Gold the past summer with 38 inch flowerheads. This 
is a knockout for sure.
