ate, and hundreds of thousands of 

 achyranthes, geraniums, alternantheras, 

 alyssums, centaureas, lobelias and ager- 

 atums are in the cutting beds. For 

 heavier effects, enormous quantities of 

 veronicas, escallonias, myrtles and other 

 hardy evergreens have already been 

 started. For groves and large groups 

 still larger evergreens are already well 

 under way. Deciduous trees that will 

 be in full leaf during the season of the 

 exposition will also be largely used.

NAMING MEDIOCRE GLADIOLI. 



"I would like to rap some of the 

 named varieties of gladioli," said W. 

 E. Fryer, of Mantorville, Minn., in a 

 paper. prepared for presentation before 

 the last meeting of the Western Dahlia 

 and Gladiolus Association. ' ' Our list 

 is too long and no more should be 

 named unless they have extra good 

 qualities and are different from any we 

 now have. Let one of experience take 

 any catalogue that lists 100 varieties. 

 They are described in such a way that 

 all appear to be good. Let him try to 

 select the best from the descriptions 

 and he will fail. If the experienced 

 fail, how is it with the average planter? 

 I have turned over a new leaf in regard 

 to varieties I am not familiar with: 

 I buy a few bulbs and grow them one 

 year before I catalogue them; if they 

 are poor, I have enough; if good, I can 

 get more. This season I am going to 

 make up a mixture of some of the 

 named varieties, but I am sure it will 

 not compare with some of the mixtures 

 I already have."
