GLORIOUS 
Mrs. RICHARD MCGOVERN X FRANCES M. [IRWIN 
(About 90 days)...Again we say as in the past, your one 
best bet for sure blue ribbons and better. We have been 
making the crack in our list the past two years that 
Glorious is unbeatable in its class ard so far it has not 
made us out a liar. It did lay down on us by not blooming 
for show dates in 1949 so we had to settle for four blues 
on four entries at three different shows. The total score 
of 100% for the past four years is eleven blues on eleven 
entries, with six champs. Show for show as follows. Ohio 
State (Cleveland) first. Chagrin Falls as sdlg. under 
number, both one and three spike, the 3 spike for a sec, 
champ, competing with named varieties in 1946. Fast 
Liverpool first both one and three spike, the 3 spike was 
sec, champ, and champion 3 spike of the show, 1947. 
Ohio State first, East Liverpool first, sec, champ, and 
runner up for show champion, 1948. Tri-State first 
open. Penna, first one spike open and first R.I. East Liv- 
erpool first three spike open and sectional champion, 1949.
