A view of the beautiful Rogue River valley at Grants Pass, Oregon — the center of the gladiolus growing industry in America. Like many other 
Eastern and Mid-Western growers, the Colonial Gardens grows part of its stock in Oregon, one of our fields the past season having been in the dis¬ 
tant center of the above panorama. The well-kept fields in the foreground belong to our friend, Mr. Ben Bones. We have been able to observe no 
difference in the performance of our Western and Minnesota-grown stock.
