at W. Va. and repeated for similar medal 
at the ‘Mich. state show. Thus, Spitfire 
followed in the footsteps of its ‘‘brother’”’ 
seedling Hurricane, which won the award 
at Mich. the vear before. Myrna alone 
won more special awards in the ’42 shows. 
At the 2nd Ohio ( R. I. and Sdlg) show, 
Cleveland, ’42, Spitfire won a 1st in color 
class, longest flowerhead in show, Section 
Champion, Grand Champion of the 
show and reaffirmation of Award of Merit, 
at 88 points, a new high score for Ohio. 
In ’44 in the shows reported it won 4 firsts, 
one section champion, one top scoring 
R. I., Grand Champion of the Show again 
at the Cleveland (Ohio) together with 
still another reaffirmation of Award of 
Merit (the first time we ever heard of that 
happening), these spikes scoring 84%. 
1945 piled new honors on Spitfire. Out 
of 8 first prize winning entries just in the 
13 shows reported, 7 went on to obtain 
further special awards. No .other glad 
exceeded 7 special awards. It was the 
best 3 spike R. I. at the 2nd Ohio where it 
it scored 87 and obtained still another 
Award of Merit. At the ist Ohio show, 
at Cleveland it was best R. I. and Grand 
Champion Bloom of the Show and here 
it also obtained still another Award of 
Merit, this one granted by the Garden 
Center of Greater Cleveland. This makes 
us a bit dizzy and if we are still able to 
count that is 5 separate and distinct 
Awards of Merit and we never heard of 
anything like that before. Australian 
catalogs call it ‘‘America’s Perfect Exhibi-
