A Moth-Like Gladiolus 



Here is a Burbank hybrid gladiolus that has been made to 



take on a rather curious form. Its broad, wide-spreading upper 



petals, combined with the peculiar coloration of the lower ones, give 



it a certain resemblance to a large moth in full flight. It is a 



rather striking illustration of the possibility of modifying 



the form of a flower of distinctly fixed type.
