The White Gladiolus.
The faultier white gladiolus >rein> to U‘ a flower of the future. To be faultit should have at least nine flowers out at rhe >ame time. The flowers should face one way. and show no stein; \et there should be no impres4on of their l»eing jammed. The beautiful \Vei»e Dame is well arranged, but 1 have never seen more than six flowers out
Raised by Dr. Pooler. South Australia, at the same time, write* a South Aus Italian grower. It is very delicate, too and increases but slowly. De la Borde*: White Excelsior seems to be badly ar ranged, though he describes it as bein« very strong, and increasing well. My new white seedling is strong and in ci eases fa irly well. It seems t step in the right direction, and before ninny years elapse I hope to send you a picture of the perfect white flower.
