mon approaching perfection. Deeper 
than Picardy. Slight lightening of mid- 
ribs, a few soft scarlet lines in throat.

8-12. florets, 514 inches diameter, 
slightly ruffled at petal edges, open 
with ease on long heads of perfect, 
tapering, championship caliber out- 
line. Cut flower qualities appear per- 
fect and its stamina as a cut flower 
was well evidenced by the 3 spikes we 
carried a long distance to the Boston, 
N.E.G.S. show 748, being in perfect 
condition at the close of the show and 
so reported in numerous publications 
around the world. 
Already we have’ noted over 20 firsts, 
in 750, seven of them ours. 
In ’51, with tabulations on 400 size 
winners not yet published, we do have 
notes of firsts, one at Ohio State, 2 at 
N. W. Ohio (Toledo), 2 at Elmyra, 2 
at Rochester, 2 at Binghamton, 1 at 
Rome (N. Y.), 1 at Central Ohio where 
it was also Division champion, 1 at 
Minn. State, 1 at Wash. State. Heavy 
propagation has brought prices into 
the reasonable stage and this will be a 
big year for Polynesie sales.
