ThcWcckly Florists' Review* 



May 9, 1912. 



MR. FULD'S APPEECIATION. 



The following letter has been received 

 from Maurice Fuld, well known as the 

 gladiolus specialist with the H. F. 

 Michell Co., anent the orfianizatiou of 

 the firm of Chaniberlain & Gage, Gro- 

 ton, Mass.; 



As a news matter I wish to submit .vo\i here- 

 with the following items. Tlie new tirin Is 

 composed of two such prominent men tliat I feel 

 they ought to receive mention as to tlieir alillity 

 and their previous experiences. 



L. Merton Gage perhaps has a woiitl-wide 

 reputation on account of his connection with the 

 American Gladiolus Society, whose secretary he 

 has been since its beginning, but even before 

 that time Mr. Gage had been known all over the 

 world as a collector and breeder of gladioli and 

 his liuowledge of the subject is indeed most 

 extensive. He has been growing gladioli for ten 

 years or more. He has studied them even to the 

 point of species and he himself lias bred hybrids 

 which we hope In the future will be disseminated. 

 Mr. Guge was a florist at one time, but on 

 account of ill health gave up liis liuslness and 

 has lived In Orange, Mass., fur a number of 

 years. 



Montague Chamberlain Is a well known writer 

 on ornithology and lias published several works 

 on the history and language of the eastern tribes 

 of Indians and was at one time connected witli 

 tlie sdentilic school of Harvard University. He 

 is a man of wide business experience and has 

 been for several years (inanclal manager of one 

 of the largest furnishing liouses In Boston. Mr. 

 Chamberlain has only of late become an en- 

 thusiast on the gladiolus, but he was one of the 

 first to respond to tlie call for forming tlie 

 American Gladiolus Society. With the prizes he 

 has offered he has always shown his Inclination 

 to favor the amateur side, in which he is deeply 

 Interested. Commercially, he has grown gladioli 

 now for three years and his first attempt at a 

 catalogue was publislied this spring. Ilie cata- 

 logue itself speaks for accuracy and tlioroughness. 

 He iias an enormous space of land which he can 

 devote to this purpose, but has only so far 

 covered three acres. Mr. Chamberlain bought two 

 years ago about 300 seedlings of E. A. Kunderd 

 and among them he has discovered some wonder- 

 fully choice novelties, .\nierica has added to its 

 list of renowned breeders and hvbridizers, the 

 name of Chamberlain & Gage.
