GLADIOLUS GROWING. 



r"'riio filailiiiliK fcir rmtit." a IS page liand- 

 Ixiok ol' glaiiinliis .iilnin'. illiistniteil. Written 

 iind i>iil>lislied li.v Haymonil M. Chanipe. proprie- 

 tor of the Oakland (Jardens Nurserv. Walled 

 Luke. Mich.) 



This litth^ niaiiii.'il Ix'.urs its own evi- 

 dence of having l)een written by .a prac- 

 tical grower. By its inattcr-of-t'act, pre- 

 cise descriptions of cultural details, it 

 irresistibly conveys the impression that 

 the author is describing his own meth- 

 ods, not merely rehearsing the opinions 

 of other glowers. The book may not be 

 an infallible guide on every ])hase of 

 its subject — what book ever was? — -but 

 its ideas seem to have endured the cru- 

 cial test of the author's own exjierience. 

 There is not ."iny great need of the as- 

 surance which he gives, that his cul- 

 tural directions •'.are not the vagaries 

 of a fireside dreamer." 



The handbook w;is written j)rimarily 

 for Ix^ginner^ whose object is not mere 

 pleasure, Init also financial gain — profit 

 from both corms and flowers. The 

 author says, in siilistance, "This course 

 of iiistnii-tion i> iiit(Mided for the city 

 resident with small grounds, who is 

 anxious to engage in this fascinating 

 business, but knows not how to do so 

 with the small space he has available." 

 Yet tlie ]>rinci]dcs of Ihe book, .as the 

 author intimates, are capable of such 

 modificat iiiii .ni.l extension .as to be ap- 

 jdicable ti) the culture of fairly large 

 areas.
