Winnings. Among these newer ones that show promise are 
Red Charm, Corona, Elizabeth the Queen, White Gold, 
Myrna, Ivy Robertson and King Lear. One wonders if any 
variety will ever catch up with Picardy as most present 
day winners have Picardy in their pedigrees. 
For the past three years the writer has been tabulat-= 
ing pedigrees and progenys from all available sources 
and hopes to have much of this information ready for 
mailing this winter. Correspondence will be welcomed .

DAYS TO BLOOM: Recently the NAGC has made available 
a list of appoximate blooming dates for the more pop=- 
ular varieties. It must be remembered that these dates 
are not a sure thing as some varieties may vary as 
much as 20 days or more from the same sized bulbs 
planted in the same field. Then the weather, the time 
of planting, depth of planting, type of soil, culture 
and many other things may vary the length of time to 
bioom. The main purpose of these dates is for comparison 
with other varieties. If you know the approximate time 
it takes a known variety to bloom in your soil, these 
dates may be of some help in determining when you 
should plant new varieties. We have hesitated in put= 
ting these dates in and would like some comment as to 
whether you like the or not. Days to bloom follows 
the description; 80 days.
