O loved not for thy sake alone, 
Gladioli; 
Not for beauty all thine own. 
Gladioli; 
For fair blooms to the springtime known, 
For bright hues to the summer shown, 
For memories dear of flowerets flown, 
Gladioli, 
I love thee, blossomer alone, 
Gladioli. 
Anon, 
T HE results of the out-pourings of 
Nature’s horn of plenty are shown in 
no flower more than in the Gladi¬ 
olus. It might almost be said that in 
quantity of bulbs for planting for effect 
and to insure quantity of blooms for cut¬ 
ting, all along the lines of solid colors, 
lies the whole secret of success in the 
growing of the gladiolus. The success 
here at Cedar Acres has demonstrated 
this very forcibly, in garden work and 
for cut flowers. Each year has added to 
the acreage, and the expanse of color, 
when the fields are all in bloom, gives to 
our friends and visitors many a suggestion 
for smaller plantings. 
We are using the same cover design 
that we used last year, feeling that it 
illustrates so clearly one of the possibilities 
for garden planting. The cover design 
is a photograph of a planting of Gladi¬ 
olus Dawn, with blue Bachelor’s Buttons 
in the background, and Sweet Alyssum 
at the base, along the border of the lawn
