KINYON North in Michigan on a cut- 
____ over section of Gladwin County 
is the Kinyon farm of about six hundred 
acres. Back in the early Twenties a few 
Gladiolus corms were given to Mrs. Kinyon 
by a friend who knew of her love for flowers. 
From these few gift bulbs and their flowers, 
seed was saved and her start as a hybridist 
began. Since that time through careful 
study of parents and methods, her aim, the 
improvement of Gladiolus, which is the ulti¬

obtained. Out of many thousands of her 
seedlings only twenty-five selected varieties 
have been chosen as her contribution to the 
improvement of Gladiolus.
