the American gladioli are the best in
the world Gladiolus bulbs are export
ed to England. Germany. Deamark,

is sent TO that country at present on

annually. and there are exported i'm the
aggregate IN large NUMBERS, DuiDS,
either grown or collected, of plants ip-
digenous 10 some parts of the country
as 10 Colorado or to California. These
include for example. the bulbs of
considerable variety of California tu-
lips and the bulbs of various rare and
beautiful plants.
Besides the larger expectations of
American bulbs chiefly TO the various
European countries there are exported
many scattering smaller lots OF bulbs

PECULIAR PRIVILEGES OF PEERS.

The more ancient peerages OF the
British realm have attached to them
certain curious privileges. granted 10
ancestors of the present holders by
monarchs of the past. and Iyany are the
quaint and ridiculous ceremonies the
present holders have to perform Oft
times i'm order To preserve the right to
their titles, says Tid Bits.
For instance, the office of royal cham
pion is hsld by the Dymokes Of Scrivels-
by Court, near Horncastle William the
Conuueror granted Scrivelsby To Rob-
eut DE Marmion on condition that he
and his successors for all time should
officiate as royal champions, s.ipulating
that IL at any time the owner of the
manor failed to appear, either IN per-
son or by deputy as champion at the
coronation banquet. the Scrivelsby es-
tate would be forfeit TO the crown.
For 500 years "A Representative from
Scrivelsby Court never failed TO per-
form this duty, even though in 1892 the
manor passed iifto The hands Of the pF-
molSes. who have held il ever since.
