A RETAILERS' GLADIOLUS. 



The accompanying illustration siiows 

 ;i basket, arranged by (ieorge Wienhoe- 

 bqr, presented last week to the mayor 

 of Cliicago. The principal material used 

 was (Jladiolus Maiden's Blush, a va- 

 riety which is available in c|iiaiitity this 

 season for the first time. (iladiolus 

 Maiden's Riusli originated in Holland, 

 with J. J. (irullem.'ins & t^ons. It is one 

 of their primulinus hybrids of ])ro- 

 nounced early-fioweriiig habit. Tlie 

 color is well described by the ii;ime. 

 When the variety was introduced, a cou- 

 jile of years ago, its color impressed 

 A. Miller, jiresident of the American 

 Hulli Co., with its value for retail cut 

 tlower work, and he laid plans for ac- 

 <|uiring as much as })ossible of the 

 stock. It is said that tliis year the 

 American Bulb Co. was able to jdant 

 200,(100 of various sizes and the varietv 



probably will be widely disseminated 

 by next year. The original stock was 

 imported from Holland under special 

 permit issued by the feder;il horticul- 

 tural board, but further permits are be- 

 ing refused because the stock is now 

 available in .America.
