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. 
Some (not many) hybridizers and catalog- 
ers are very loose in their use of the words 
“Winners,” ‘““Champions,” etc. For your own 
protection, scruntinize 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 many 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, many shows make 
further provision for Grand Champion Bloom 
of the Show. Some shows have provision for 
Champion Seedling Bloom. -
