a light salmon-pink Gladiolus with 

 oxblood-red blotches in Field Mar- 

 shal Haig. Besides having the de- 

 cidedly fashionable ruffled petals, 

 this sort is said to do particularly 

 well in cool, moist soil. 



By crossing Gladiolus quartinianus 

 with one of the new Kunderdi 

 hybrids, A. E. Kunderd originated 

 what he chooses to call the fore- 

 runner of an entirely new, late- 

 flowering race of Gladiolus. Indian 

 Summer is a rose-pink of large size, 

 blooming in late fall. He also has: 



Marie Kunderd, a ruffled white, comparing very 

 favorably with Chicago White and Snow White in 

 earliness; has almost invisible slight pink line on 

 centre of lower petals. Anthony B. Kunderd, of 

 large flowered, intensely ruffled type. Color deep 

 cream, blush and primrose tints, blending. Gold 

 Drop (Kunderdi-Primulinus hybrid). Exception- 

 ally large for a Primulinus hybrid. Yellow, with 

 slight pinlc throat lines. 



Gladiolus Praecox Hybrids which 

 make a strong appeal because. of their 

 early blooming from seed. Now also 

 offered in selected bulbs. (Burpee) 



Pernetiana Hybrid Rose Golden Emblem, is here shown in two characters. 

 This novelty was probably the most remarkable in the big Philadelphia Rose 

 Show last year. An improvement on Rayon d'Or and claims attention as a 

 possible triumphant yellow garden Rose. (Dreer, Totty) 



Rose Aunt Harriet, semi-single Wichuraiana 

 Hybrid, produced by Dr. Van Fleet from Appoline. 

 Scarlet crimson, with white centre. (Conard & 

 Jones) 



H. T. Rose Silvia described as a yellow Ophelia, becoming 

 white with age, has attracted favorable comment for cut 

 flowers. (F. R. Pierson) 



H. T. Rose Columbia is appropriately named because 

 of its American origin. Pure pink becoming deeper with 

 age. Raised by E. G. Hill. (All Rose specialists) 



When it Comes to Dahlias 



TPHERE is an apparent dearth of 

 *• novelties in this flower of many 

 vagaries, and which has so many 

 sincere devotees. Perhaps the pecu- 

 liar conditions of the times cause 

 many to be over-conservative in talk- 

 ing about new things. Be that as 

 it may, the only hybridizer reporting 

 progress is C. S. Mastic, to whose 

 activity reference was made in these 

 columns last year. Through Tyler 

 he is distributing more of his bizarre 

 and fantastic creations. Among 

 them are: 



Miladi (Hybrid Peony) — Chinese vermilion; 

 shape of a Water Lily with several rows of narrow 

 pointed petals; a row of small petals curl over 

 centre; very fragrant; size 7 to 9 inches. La Folie 

 (Hybrid Peony) — Large folded, twisted petals; color 

 a peculiar blending of orange and salmon giving 

 flower a flame color appearance; good stem; size 9
