tell you. The best variety is the one 

 that pleases you the most, be it red, 

 white, pink, yellow or what not, but if 

 you are a grower for commercial pur- 

 poses, then you must cater somewhat to 

 the public tastes. But, as I said before, 

 the public will soon learn to appreciate 

 many and varicolored varieties if you 

 will have them in fine condition. There 

 are today almost no pure strains of 

 gladioli grown, owing to the great 

 amount of mixed crossing that has been 

 done in recent years, and the field is 

 open to the patient worker to produce 

 yet many wondrous kinds. Let no man 

 tell you that this or that is the best one, 

 for "the best one" has not yet ap- 

 peared, and you have as good a right to 

 your preferences and to produce the 

 best one as anyone. When two species, 

 or varieties, cannot be crossed directly, 

 try the third one, and with the resultant 

 seedling you may succeed in crossing 

 indirectly and secure about the results 

 you wish. 



I want to refer briefly to descriptions, 

 especially of colors. For the expert I 

 believe in a color chart and think we 

 ought to give more attention to this, 

 but authorities seem to differ as to colors 

 and tints, and, as a rule, I find that 

 among the general public our old ideas 

 of colors are suited best. 



GLADIOLI FOB MAY 1. 



Are 100 days enough to allow gladioli, 

 which I desire to bring in for May 1, 

 without forcing? J. W. H. — Mich. 



Such varieties as America, Mrs. 

 Francis King, Ilalley and Augusta 

 should be planted January 15. The 

 primulinus varieties will come in two 

 weeks earlier in a temperature of 45 

 to 50 degrees at night. C. W. 



FOBCING GLADIOLI. 



Will you give me some pointers on the 

 forcing of gladioli? What variety is the 

 best for the beginner? When sliould 

 they be planted, how much room sliould 

 they have, what temperature do they re- 

 quire, etc.? R. M. P. — Pa. 



Much will depend on whether you are 

 planning to grow for a home or for a 

 shipping trade. Gladioli succeed well in 

 the same temperature as carnations, viz.,
