DAZZLER (Both) 80 **+ 1 f{t{{ Exh. only. 
The greatest dazzler for color we have 
seen? We never thought we would ever 
see a glad of scarlet orange that could 
match Pfitzer’s Triumph. But this is 
vivid dazzling scarlet orange with darker 
blotch. Slightly ruffled. 51% inch florets, 
9-10 open, 22 and more buds. Full double 
row Exh. type placement. Flower fades in 
the sun so it is not a commercial type. 
But what a ‘humdinger’ for the show 
bench or home use if blooms are opened 
indoors! A spike selected from our com- 
mercial display at Ohio, ’38, not entered 
in competition, was unanimously chosen 
by the judges as Grand Champion Bloom 
of the Show, winning the American Home 
Achievement Medal and the N.E.GSS.

spikes and large bulbs directly from bulb- 
lets. In 1940 won the American Home 
Achievement Medal at Mich. state show. 
In ’41 it won for us a first and Vase 
trophy at Wellsville, 2 firsts at Mich. 
state, where numerous growers again 
acknowledged its high color value, first 
at Midwest and Champion Seedling at 
Mahoning, fairly impressive for a seed- 
ling. Best Ohio origination, Midwest, ’42.
