* Leading Lady, a °’42 introduction, scored 
thus in the ’44 Symposium and was inadver- 
tently omitted in the ’45 voting list. Having 
good color and the Canadian raised Picardy 
habits, Leading Lady is bound to come very 
close to the top of the list in the coming 1946 
full symposium. The same line of reasoning 
could apply to Silver Wings. Tunia’s Maho- 
met and Tunia’s Marvel (first available to 
purchase in U. S. and Canada ’43) were also 
omitted from the list by mistake. 
Further study of this list, coupled with our 
own intimate knowledge of the varieties, we 
would consider it likely that Leading Lady 
and Mystery will make the best 5 and Lan- 
caster and Spotlight will enter the best 10. 
Convoy is a beauty but is a bit shy on number 
open and color peels slightly in soggy weather 
and will likely drop in the list. Glamis peels 
its color considerably in soggy weather, elim- 
inating it from our catalog and it will very 
likely lose its place in the best 10. Incident- 
ally, Purple Supreme shared the same fate in 
our catalog last year for the same reason.

Burma, though having grand floret form, has 
a color not very popular with florists, a red 
purplish rose, we would call it, not to men- 
tion some other faults and may be displaced. 
Caribou, we feel, got into the best 10 by 
heavy voting in its own bailwick and is 
entirely unlikely to ride out the up-surge of 
Leading Lady, Mystery, Corona, Firebrand, 
Lancaster, Spotlight and others. It is hard 
for us to guess where Tunia’s Mahomet, Tuts 
Both, Marlene Both, etc. will place in a 
Canadian symposium for a couple more years 
since war time restrictions limited imports to 
$4.50 and bulblets mostly were purchased. 
These have to be regrown a couple times 
before their presence will be much felt. 
Elizabeth the Queen does not meet our 
ideals for color harmony nor do some of its 
growing habits, but partly for lack of class 
competition it has piled up an enviable record 
of 18 wins in our '44 tabulation and 18 again 
in 745, so we think it may gain somewhat 
undeserved prominence for one or two sym- 
posiums to come.
