New GlndioluH Type* 



/CONTINUED pro- 

 ^ gress in new color 

 combinations keeps 



popular interest m 

 Gladiolus on the alert 

 as t he opportunity of 

 choice in satisfying 

 individual taste in- 

 creases rapidly — per- 

 haps more so than in 

 any other flower with 

 the probable excep- 

 tion of the Dahlia. 

 Besides a wonderful 

 new race of giant- 

 flowering kinds being 

 nursed to perfection 

 on the Pacific Coast, 

 eastern hybridizers 

 give us Praecox hy- 

 brids, P r i m u 1 i n u s 

 hybrids, Kunderdi 

 hybrids, "ru f f led" 

 types, and what not. 

 The outstanding fea- 

 ture in the majority 

 of new hybrids is the 

 endeavor of the 

 breeder to perfect 



Hybrid Peony Dahlia La Folie, attractive 

 through its oddity. The color is a peculiar 

 blending of orange and salmon. (Mastick- 

 Tyler) 



Hybrid Cactus Dahlia Prof. F. H. Hall. 

 White ground, overlaid and suffused with 

 shaded rose. (Mastick -Tyler) 



"Tokio Set" of Japanese Chrysanthemums 

 imported from the Celestial Empire and is 

 sufficiently different from conventional forms 

 to attract the curious. (Totty) 



both form and color 

 ing at the same time. 

 The effort of striving 

 after refined colors, 

 such as are found 

 among the Orchid- 

 flowering Pansies and 

 the rarer Primroses 

 is particularly notice- 

 able in the Fordhook 

 PraecoxHybrids which 

 are now available in 

 a great range of sep- 

 arate colors (Burpee). 

 Many of Mrs. Austin's 

 friends will be inter- 

 ested to learn that in 

 Pink Lustre she offers 

 what she considers the 

 crowning masterpiece 

 of her efforts, a shell- 

 pink with a pure 

 white throat, not 

 mottled or streaked 

 in any way, overlaid 

 with an almost spark- 

 ing lustre. 



Honoring the great 

 British soldier, 

 Vaughan introduces 



Zonal Geranium Floradale Strain, of which this is a 

 representative, is of Californian origin, and is offered in 

 many variations. (Burpee) 



Dahlia Topaze (Exhibition Cactus). A fine type of 

 European origin is seen in Topaze, a peculiar bluish rose 

 color described as "almost weird." (Tate)

Trailing Rose Alida Lovett, for which much is claimed. Produced by crossing 

 President Carnot with Rosa wichuraiana. Said to have pronounced fragrance and to be 

 mildew proof. Color shell pink, with sulphur shadings. (Lovett) 



Box-Barberry is the curious name for a dwarf compact form of Japan Barberry, evi- 

 dently applied because of the suggested utility of the newcomer as an edging plant. Nor- 

 mal type to right; the new form to the left. (Elm City Nurseries)
