ACHIEVEMENT MEDAL; FIRST CLASS CERTIFICATE. Seven judges scored it 
e plus. Is an easy cutter, spikes can be snapped out easily without any injury to the 
plants. 
Have had excellent reports on this. Excerpts from a letter received from the 
Gladhaven Gardens, Inglewood, California, October 1944, Quote: “I have seen 
DREAM CASTLE and am sold on it 100%. Every spike I think was a showflower. 
Every floret was placed right and it made wonderful spikes in every way. No one can 
adequately describe its beauty and then to be able to cut one spike after another, each 
one a show spike. You almost wonder if they might be having a contest among them- 
selves, in their own quiet way, to see which one could be the very best one. YES SIR! 
I’m sold on Dream Castle and as soon as I can get enough stock, I’m throwing out a 
lot of those so-called ‘world beaters.’ ”’
