ing, from the editorial column of the 

 Democrat, of Paducah, Ky.: 



"It is to be hoped that congress will 

 pass the bill designed to protect the 

 public against adulterated or misbranded 

 seed. A pure-seed law is as important as 

 the pure-food law. Vanderburg county 

 farmers may wonder why they are un- 

 able to get blue grass of the luxuriant 

 growth found in Kentucky. In most 

 cases it is because they buy Canadian 

 blue grass seed under the name of Ken- 

 tucky blue grass. Such an imposition 

 would be impossible if laws are adopted 

 by congress and the legislature like the 

 measure proposed by Mr. Mann, of Illi- 

 nois. A report on the bill says," etc.

RUFFLED GLADIOLL 



An Epoch-making Event. 



The advent of the ruffled form of the 

 gladiolus should be a matter of interest 

 to all growers of this flower. To my 

 niind, it is one of the half-dozen epoch- 

 making events in the history of the 

 gladiolus as a cultivated flower, and it is 

 one that presents some special charac- 

 teristics of its own. 



I would not characterize it as a 

 "triumph of the breeder's art," as no 

 doubt some will, or as another of the 

 "wonderful results of hybridization," 

 for I think its appearance can better be 

 ficcounted for on other grounds. I 

 hardly think it is a result of any ming-

Not Entirely New. 



It is not entirely new. It was slightly 

 noticeable in the variety Snow White 

 and plainly evident in White Lady or 

 Weiss Dame, and I have in my collec- 

 tion, among the seedlings originating 

 here and held for trial and development, 

 a frilled gladiolus which has been in 

 bloom for at least four years. It is listed 

 in my field notebook by the name "Fuss 

 and Frills," and has been inspected 

 when in bloom by a number of growers 

 and others who have visited my place. 

 Its unusual appearance attracts atten- 

 tion quickly. It is a pure white flower. 

 While vigorous enough, it has the trait, 

 common to all white varieties, of being

Not Primarily Due to Heredity. 



I have intimated that I do not con- 

 sider this form as being, in the first 

 instance, a variant produced by seed- 

 heredity, though after its advent I 

 should most certainly make use of that 

 means to intensify and perpetuate the 

 peculiarity. I feel sure that if the
