“My gladiolus season is over and | want to say that I had the best gladiolus garden in my 
estimation,-as well as in others, on Cape Cod. Garden of the Nations, Capeheart, Sara- 
sate and Prestige were beautiful. I have taken pictures of these flowers with my movie 
camera in colors and | received a very nice letter from the Eastman Kodak Company, 
who processed my films, congratulating me on the “wonderful glads.” Please accept my 
thanks for the extras you sent me. Gladiolus are the most wonderful flowers in the 
world!”—-M. H., Buzzards Bay.
