REMARKS: Another year of growing experience and visits to five shows have produced few upsets in our pref- 
erence ratings, the most prominent of which is Red Charm which has amply satisfied us of its all-purpose value. 
Its bright, clear, deep crimson does not fleck from access to too much phosphate nor flake off in wet weather and 
its cut flower habits are outstanding. King Click won 4 of its special awards on a single spike entry. Whether 
Lady Jane is really better than Jersey Cream remains to be seen. Careful study of color last year causes Harmau 
to move about in color classes again, landing finally, we hope, in Deep Salmon but still top rated. Among the new 
ones seemingly able to outclass competition in their respective colors are Sir Galahad, Helen of Troy, H. B. Pitt, 
Stella Antisdale, Greta Garbo, Red Charm, Harmau, Coutts’ Orchid, Rosa Van Lima, H. R. Hancock, Mrs. Mark’s 
Memory, Tunia’s Mahomet and Pinocchio. The last named was the only small decorative to average better than 
1 win per show and this in spite of the loss of 4 or 5 firsts at Midwest where the judges disqualified it for size, disre- 
garding the rules yours truly was supposed to enforce. Picardy ran a 14 win total in the various Illinois shows 
but failed to exceed 2 firsts in any of the other shows reported.
