GEORGE T. WENTWORTH Never of in- 
terest to me 
are facts or pictures of myself. But, according 
to others, the occasion seemed to demand it, 
so here I am. 
Wentworth Gardens was founded by Mr. M. W. 
Wentworth in the late twenties. My father and 
I worked together in hybridizing, collecting 
information on production and learning variety 
names by association of color, type and size of 
bloom. 

Upon the death of M. W., as he was so well 
known, I took up the business and carried on. 
Since the start, it has been moved from the 
20-acre farm to a 220-acre farm which has better 
bulb soil and plenty of room for rotation. 
We hope that some time you will find it pos- 
sible to visit our fields. 
MRS. GEORGE KINYON 5 ¢ true lover 
of the wonders 
of nature and was not satisfied to watch what 
others had helped nature create. 

Long before hybridizing of Gladiolus had be- 
come commonplace, Mrs. Kinyon through care- 
ful study and painstaking labor succeeded in 
breeding unusual, new Gladiolus. This labor 
has been continued for nearly twenty years and 
has created a beautiful and vigorous strain of 
Gladiolus. 
Out of many thousands of her seedlings, about 
twenty-five selected varieties have been chosen 
as her contribution to the improvement of 
Gladiolus. 

PROF. CHESTER F. KUHN 4s made it 
possible to 
complete the cycle for catalog listings by offer- 
ing you scientifically hybridized Gladiolus seeds. 
A great deal of time and study has been given the crosses, as listed on pages 21 and 22. 
Unique for seed listings is the information and predictions of what you may expect. 

These probable predictions can be given because of the tedious and accurate records 
kept by Professor Kuhn. His right as a professional hybridist is proven by the fact that 
his seedlings have won 350 first ribbons, 8 cups and several medals in competition against 
top-ranking named Gladiolus.
