A Gladiolus Show. 



The American Bulb Vo. is displaying 

 many of the new varieties of gladioli. 

 The flowers were grown in Indiana, 

 where the company has eleven acres 

 devoted principally to novelties, such 

 as Ida Van, Rosella, Uiant White, Ari- 

 zona, Anna Eberius, Daisy Rand, Kun- 

 derd 's Orange, Mottled America, Gov- 

 ernor Hanley, Alice Tiplady, Myrtle, 

 Goliath, Joflfre and many others. Of 

 some of the novelties there are consid- 

 erable quantities, of others onlv one 

 bulb. 



The American Bulb Co. has entered 

 into the growing of gladioli on an ex- 

 tensive scale, having two growers in 

 Michigan, one operating in the north- 

 ern part and one operating in the south- 

 ern part, growing varieties such as 

 Panama, Pendleton and Schwaben. The 

 company is working up stock of Myrtle, 

 which is one of the most prized gladioli 

 in Chicago, and in a few years will be 

 able to offer it at a reasonable price. 

 Myrtle is hard to propagate, as it takes 

 sometimes two seasons for stratification 

 of the corms. It is not like varieties 

 that will come up and reproduce quick- 

 ly. Many large gladiolus growers have 

 discarded this variety, as they find it 

 impossible to increase stock. 



Mr. Miller believes that gladioli never 

 should be grown two years in succes- 

 sion on the same soil. He believes it is 

 advisable to have farms located in dif-
