GOSHEN. IND. 



E. A. Kunderd has sold to Montague 

 Chamberlain, Groton, Mass., his collec- 

 tion of plain petaled gladioli, the trans- 

 action including all the separate colors 

 in the large collection, except some 

 twenty varieties. Mr. Kunderd retains, 

 besides, his ruffled sorts and his mixed 

 stock. 



Mr. Kunderd 's collection was the re- 

 sult of fifteen years' study and breed- 

 ing. One of his productions, Mrs. Frank 

 Pendleton, Jr., secured by Eawson and 

 exhibited last season at several flower 

 shows, was awarded a certificate of 

 merit by the Massachusetts Horticul- 

 tural Society. Mr. Kunderd 's greatest 

 achievement, of course, is the produc- 

 tion of ruffled gladioli, an entirely dis- 

 tinct type. His collection of these was 

 becoming so large that he decided to 

 dispose of his plain petaled varieties, 

 and devote his time and means to the 

 new type. The collection secured by 

 Mr. Chamberlain includes over 300 va- 

 rieties and only some half dozen of 

 these have been named. Among them 

 is a pure white which Mr. Chamberlain 

 says will rank with Keine Blanche and 

 Europa; another he thinks will be a 

 strong rival of the famous Princeps, 

 having the advantage of Princeps in 

 displaying more blossoms at a time. The 

 popular America also has a rival in this 

 collection, the new-comer being of some- 

 what deeper pink and of larger size. 



Mr. Chamberlain has been for some 

 time building up a collection of gladioli 

 by propagation and by purchasing from 

 the leading American and foreign grow- 

 ers, until his collection is one of the 

 finest in the country. He is connected 

 with one of Boston's largest dry goods 

 houses, but his farm is at Groton, in 

 the midst of the famous New England 

 apple belt. Always a student of nature, 

 he was for a number of years connected 

 with the Scientific School of Harvard, 

 is an author of note, and will undoubt- 

 edly become a leading grower of gladoli. 



TARRYTOWN, N. Y. 



The monthly meeting of the Tarry-

 cooperation of the Tarrytown society in

 the legislature appropriating $50,000 to 

 erect greenhouses at Cornell for experi- 

 mental purposes. 



It was announced that the fall show
