A New Gladiolus

I have growing on my place at 

 Amelia, Ohio, 10,000 bulbs of 

 this variety that will bloom dur- 

 ing August, and also all the 

 bulblets produced last year. 



This variety originated with 

 me and no stock has as yet 



passed from my possession. 



I wish to sell the entire stock 



and wish to hear from anyone 



interested in something really 



good. 



Call and see it growing in the 



field.

QUIT QBOWINa HOLLAND BULBS. 



When the late Charles "Willis Ward 

 bought a million and a half bulbs from 

 the Holland Bulb Farm, at Victoria, 

 B. C, six years ago, and commenced 

 growing tulip and narcissus bulbs at 

 Eureka, Cal., the experiment was 

 watched with great interest by the hor- 

 ticultural interests of the country. So 

 generous was the investment and so ex- 

 tensive the undertaking that the possi- 

 bility of competition with imported 

 stocks from Holland was the subject of 

 much speculation. In fact, the enter- 

 prise was cited by members of the Fed- 

 eral Horticultural Board as an example 

 of how America might become inde- 

 pendent of foreign supplies of plants 

 and- bulbs. 



The entrance into a receiver's hands 

 of the Cottage Gardens Nurseries a year 

 and a half ago caused a shrinkage in 

 those expectations. Now the announce- 

 ment is made that the growing of tulips 

 and narcissi will be discontinued at 

 Eureka, which may lend the Dutch bulb 

 men some encouragement. The growing 

 of gloxinias and tuberous-rooted bego- 

 nias will, however, be continued. 



BULB OROWINO IN MICHIOAN. 



Michigan has proved well adapted to 

 the growing of gladiolus bulbs. Several 

 Holland concerns, cut off from the 

 American market by the quarantine, 

 have started gladiolus growing in Mich- 

 igan and have met with good success. 

 They have made small tests with other 

 bulbs, with such good results that the 

 work seems destined to develop with 

 considerable rapidity.
