CHAMPION SEEDLING BLOOMS 
Following seedling champions were not 
merely winners in their classes of certain 
types. They were champion seedlings, all 
types competing. Not many Prize Schedules 
make provision for this competition, it being 
most popular, apparently, in Ohio, Australia 
and New Zealand.

COLOR CHAMPIONS 
It is to the credit of the Tasmania Gladio- 
lus Society to have hit upon this desirable 
addition to our shows. Without genuine 
color appeal no new seedling should be intro- 
duced. Ohio Society adopted the idea in

INVESTMENT 
Buying seemingly expensive bulbs of new 
introductions of proven merit is an invest- 
ment seldom given proper consideration. A 
single medium (half size) bulb, an average

a large bulb (not just 50 percent) and while 
doing it grow into a large bulb and produce 
on an average of 50 sizeable bulblets. In two
