ALL ABOUT THE GLADIOLUS. 



Ivxtension P>ulletiii 9, receutlv ]nib 

 lished by the New York State College 

 <'\' Agriculture, at Cornell Universitv, 

 Ithaca, X. Y., probably does not tell 

 nearly all there is to" tell about the 

 gladiolus, but by the time the other bul 

 letins in the jirojiosed series are issued 

 the subject ought to he about exhausted. 

 The inf(u-mation to be embodied in the 

 series of books will be largely the re 

 suit of exj)criments conducted at the 

 trial grounds of the American Gladiolus 

 SiKMoty, located at Cornell. 



The present bulhdin is entitled "Ola 

 diolus Studies— 1; Botany, llistorv and 

 lAolutiioi of the (iladioius. " It' is il 

 lustr.-ited and contains 188 ]iages. It 

 was prejiared by Alvin C. Real, profes 

 sor of tloricultural investigations a; 

 •'oiiiell ami chairman of the nomenela 

 lure cnmmittee of the American Gladi 

 olus Society. This first book of tin- 

 series, says Air. Deal, "is intended te 

 trace the de\ eloiuneiit of tlio <,dadiolu-^ 

 up to the jireseiit time. Succeeding bul 

 letins will treat of its culture and of tie: 

 \arietie> that lia\-e been tested in tin 

 L;l;idiolus trial grounds." 



This series of "gladiolus studies' 

 may be expected, theiad'ore, to be an 

 epitome or compendium of most of th' 

 impnrtant .a\ ailable facts about the gla 

 dinlus. ;iii,| (■;inunt fail to be iiitcrcstinL
