GRAND CHAMPION BLOOMS 
The Grand Champion Bloom of the Show 
is, ipso facto, a sweepstakes award to the 
best spike in the Exhibition, wherever found. 
If not so chosen we prefer not to list them. 
Some (not many) hybridizers and catalog- 
ers are very loose in their use of the words 
“Winners,” ‘““Champions,” etc. For your own 
protection, scrutinize these assertions closely 
and see if the winning is identified to time 
and place. An honest introducer of new var- 
ieties will be reasonably sure to specify rather 
than generalize or use language intended to 
deceive. 
In recent years many of the larger shows 
have provision for sectional and division 
champions. Topping these, most sizeable 
shows now provide for the single spike Grand 
Champion Bloom of the Show. A few of 
them, where enough hybridizers exhibit to 
warrant, provision is made for Champion 
Seedling Bloom.
