representing three different railway sys- 

 tems, which pass my home and thousands 

 of people stop at my place during gla- 

 diolus time and I can assure you that 

 hundreds of the most prominent people 

 exclaim joyfully when they see thou- 

 sands of varieties of almost every 

 shade and color. Show your people thou- 

 sands of rich and even gaudy colors 

 and shades, reds, fancy colored and 

 beautifully blotched varieties and they 

 will forget old notions about only self 

 and soft colors, etc., and your sales will 

 tell you how the people feel when they 

 see something new, something good. 



Now I must return more to the history 

 of the development of the gladiolus. 

 Of course, you all know that develop- 

 ment of a flower is largely the result 

 of crossing and selection by our new and 

 .scientific methods of plant breeding. 

 There is much to be said on culture and 

 growing, but never forget that the three 

 greatest essentials to successful grow- 

 ing of gladioli, as of almost everything 

 else, are good soil, good and frequent 

 cultivation and plenty of water during 

 the growing season. Well grown gla-

Let's Turn It Over 

 You and I 



Let's turn over a new leaf. 



Let's turn it over to ^ay turned. 



Let's make it read different than la^ year's. 



Let's ^art with the word "happy." 



Let's end with the word "smile." 



Let's write on the second line that we cannot 



have smiles in our voice if we don't put 



smiles on our face. 

 Let's write on the third line the word "scat." 

 Scat to dull care when it comes meowing around. 

 Meows never yet caught a mouse. 

 Let's stop wishing we were the other fellow, for 



he mo^ hkely is wishing he were us. 



Let's wish each other a Happy New Year. 

 Let's wish it, because we honestly wish to wish it. 

 Let's turn over a new leaf, you and I.

dioli are superior to those less carefully 

 grown and a choice variety may be in- 

 ferior if poorly or only moderately de- 

 veloped. Grow the best and have them 

 in perfect condition; you cannot .iudge 

 their merits otherwise, nor get the best 

 results. 



Productions by Crossing. 



The principal older strains of gladioli 



are the gandavonsis, Ijcnioinei, nance- 

 ianus, Diildsii, and Groff's hybrids. 

 Gandavensis varieties are the result of 

 a combination of species and previous 

 results of crossing different species, and 

 form the foundation of what later be- 

 came the Lemoinei strain, produced by 

 that wonderful breeder of flowers and 

 plants, M. Lemoine, of Nancy, France, 

 by the infusion of the species purpureo-
