The Gladiolus Breeder Looks to the Future Progress Made Along Four Distinct Lines, with Dainty, Graceful Spikes Achieved. A decade ago gladiolus enthusiasts were quite sure that the development of this Handsome flower had pro gressed to the point where there was really little left to do, but the im provements of the last ten years have proved them wrong. During that time there have been four distinct lines of advance, all of which are rich with promise for the future. 1 Perhaps the most striking of these four lines is the development of what used to be called the Primull nus grandiflorus section; that is, varieties with a little of the primu linus strain in them, to give grace and vigor of growth to the large flowered commercial type. Giant NymfTi, a fine, sturdy salmon pink, was perhaps the pioneer in this class. Although classified as an exhibition flower of the grandiflorus type, it obviously carries primulinus blood. Picardy, probably the most popular exhibition gladiolus today, Is another salmon pink that belongs in the same class, as do pink Mildred Louise and yellow Primrose Princess. Improved Commercial Sorts. Palmer of Ontario is a leading breeder of this type at present. He is developing flowers of excellent sub stance, fine, clear colors and first class commercial value. Others who have worked successfully along the same line are "Gladiolus Bill," Hun dred, Fischer and Clark. The best of their introductions undoubtedly will be the commercial gladiolus va rieties, such as America, Halley and Mrs. Frank endleton. Of less commercial Importance than these, but much more startling, are the new mammoth gladiolus va rieties. They are called new because there has been much talk of the re cent developments in them. To the average gladiolus fancier a clear pic ture of this type Is available in the well-known Mrs. Leon Douglas. This has not been surpassed in size or in show value In twenty years. Now the Australians and New Zealanders are sending us pink Miss New Zealand, purple Tikana, and two or three oth ers, each heralded as having eight inch blossoms and eight-foot flower stalks, with all parts of the plant giant In proportion. That any of these new ones will prove as sturdy and reliable as Mrs. Leon Douglas is doubtful, but they are a boon to the exhibitor who wants to give a spec tacular show. Graceful Miniatures. Even more generally useful to the home gardener than either of these developments in "big" gladiolus are the miniatures in which the small, dainty flowers of primulinus have retained their delicacy, and have merely been modified to make open blossoms and to give a greater variety of color. White Butterfly, Orange Butterfly, the old Orange Brilliant, and hosts of others of the "prims" fit Into this grouping. They are flowers par excellence for the flower artist, and have regularly won prizes in show classes for the most artistic arrangements, but it took a decade of winnings to convince gladiolus breeders that these fragile little blooms, ignored by growers and by most commercial florists, are real ly worth while. In these, as in the Primulinus grandiflorus type, recent developments have been toward bet ter substance and keeping quality. These qualities, together with their prlmulinous vigor of growth, will make them the best flowers for the amateur's cutting garden. Fragrance the Breeder's New Goal. The fourth line of development in the gladiolus during recent years is the progress toward fragrance. Sev eral workers, including the author, have been striving toward this goal for the past half century or more. Now some of the first modest achieve ments in this direction are coming Into the market. Bill's apricot Sweet-and-Lovely, Mrs. Miller's pink In cense and Steben's white Mybloom are examples. All of these have a mild and pleasing fragrance, scarce ly enough yet to Justify calling them truly fragrant, but they are cer tainly promising. The sweet-glads" which are Just now coming Into the NURSES FOR TRAINS Omaha. A new wrinkle in rail roading stewardesses will be in augurated Wednesday by the Union aciflc on its Los Angeles limited tracks. On each will be a registered nurse. The service will start Friday from Los Angeles. The OmaTia stew ardesses are Eunice C. Peterson, Ger trude E. Reedholm, Florence C. Welp and Erma M. Smatlan. PLATTSMOUTH fiTn - WEEKLY JO USUAL . BUSINESS IS ON UPGRADE Omaha. Omaha wholesalers and visiting merchants here for the an nual market week meeting were too busy Monday to answer the question "how's business?" And that, said A. D. Speir, chairman of the cham ber of commerce market week com mittee, is the best indication of bet ter business In several years. Practically all the early visitors were looking forward to better busi ness conditions and were in a buying mood, wholesalers said. W. H. An derson of a general merchandising house at Chadron, said "farmers are enjoying the first crop in five years" In his locality. Corn is in fine shape and grali crops are fair, so business is good, Anderson said.

The Knights of Co lumbus' supreme '' council was told that attempts by representatives of the Mexican government to destroy religious liberty in the United States has spurred the organization to a campaign in defense of individual rights. Replying to the city's formal welcome of the 'fifty-third annual meeting of the council, Martin H. Carmody, supreme knight, of Grand Rapids, Mich., declared: "Not content with what is being done in its own country, the govern ment of Mexico has constantly en deavored by propaganda thru its con sular representatives in this country, to undermine and destroy our free Institutions, our principles of civil and religious liberty, and even the government itself, and to set up the government of the red communism of Russia." Carmody urged that the Knights of Colcmbus unite to combat the "honey combing of the civilized world by communism." CATHOLICS PONDER FUTURE Fulda, Germany. The future of the Catholic church in Germany was pondered by the highest clericals of the reich while nazi officials kept close tab. The three-day conference in closed sessions is considering the "serious situation facing the' German church." Johannes Adolf Cardinal Bertram opened the meeting of forty-five bish ops with a public devotional service in the Catholic crypt at the tomb of St. Boniface, English missionary who was the first to bring Christianity to this section. After the blessing of the sacra ment, the cardinals and bishops filed into the nearby ancient seminary, closed the doors and began to ex change views on the church-nazi struggle. Their deliberations are ex pected to result in formation of a line of action for the coming year. Improved crop conditions and higher prices for farm products will stimulate business. Shrewd advertisers recognize this and will go after increased trade. $69,000 Grant for WPA Work in This State $20,000 Pledged by Various Sponsors of Projects in Administra tor Felton's List.
