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

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.

PROTESTS MEXICAN POLICY
New York. 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.
