VUB.B SEED. 



The Secretary of Agriculture takes 

 to his department most of the credit 

 for the improvement which is being 

 made in the average quality of the 

 seeds offered for planting. In his an- 

 nual report, just issued, he said: 



"Gi'eat progress has been made in 

 the matter of securing good seed for 

 the farmer. The early laboratory work 

 inaugurated has been gradually ex- 

 tended until the present time, and the 

 laboratory located in Washington, to- 

 gether with the five branch laborato- 

 ries maintained in connection with the 

 state agricultural colleges and experi- 

 ment stations, has tested more than 

 120,000 samples of seeds for purity or 

 germination or both. 



"This work, continued from year to 

 year, has resulted in a much better 



NIAGARA 



One off the wonders off the GLADIOLUS world. 



In type the variety resembles "America," but the flowers appear to be 

 somewhat larger, measuring 41^ inches across. In color the flowers are 

 a delightful cream shade with the two lower inside petals or segments 

 blending to canary yellow. The flower spike is very erect and stout 

 and is wrapped with broad, dark green foliage. The variety is evidently 

 destined to lead in the cream colored varieties. 



Awards. 1911— Certificates of Merit from Mass. Hort. Society,

 Gladiolus Society, open class award for finest yellow.
