BROOKLYN NEW YORK 



LONG ISLAND NEW JERSEY 



Established Almost a Quarter of a Century. 



about thirty-five years ago. Observing 

 an inclination among varieties to show 

 more or less variation towards convolu- 

 tion of the petals, I began the study of 

 the species to learn, if possible, how the 

 ruffled, or wavy-edged, petals might be 

 intensified or improved and a ruffled 

 strain might be produced. By 1904 I 

 was well on the way towards success 

 and by 3907 I had sufficient ruffled 

 varieties to begin to sell a few. In 

 1908 and 1909 I sent a few corms of 

 ruffled to Crawford and Gago, and to 

 Luther Burbank and Dr. Van Fleet 

 in 1910. 



BufQed Varieties Are Bred. 



Now I am going to demonstrate to 

 you the fact that the ruffled gladiolus 

 is the result of scientific work in cross- 

 ing certain species, wliich I shall name, 

 with varieties, and quote you some of 

 the authorities who describe these spe- 

 cies, and are not a result of sport varia- 

 tion or mutation, and still in much 

 lesser degree due to some later con- 

 ceived notion of some great law, or 

 rather something said about a law wliieh 

 may not bear the light of scientific in- 

 vestigation or application. 



Bailey in his "Cyclopedia of Horti- 

 culture" describes species crispiflorus 

 as having "crisped or wavy petals," 

 and species undulatus as "wavy." 

 Childs says of species fasciatus, "The 

 petals have waved margins." Allen, in 

 "Bulbs and Tuberous-Rooted Plants." 

 says of species cuspidatus, "The petals 

 are undulated. " 



Now notice the names of these spe- 

 cies: "Crispiflorus" means crisped. 

 "Undulatus" means undulated or wavy. 

 "Cuspidatus" means cusped. 



Fasciatus, imbricatus and other species 

 also show a deviation of edges of petals.
