That list was compiled from the

On looking over this list, we realize
its inadequacy. so many beautiful
ones are left out, some put in that
others would not. like. perhaps some
that few might sneer at, since there
is a snobbery in flowers as in every
thing else.
Yet, as whole, the list is a good
one and he who selects from it will
have some wonderful "glads," includ-
ing some supreme novelties. scarcely
to be found in one out of a hundred
gardens. The prices of most of the
above bulbs range from 10 to % cents,
with very few exceptions.
We cannot but think that one
ought to grow named varieties, in the
beginning at least, in order to get the
mos out of the gladiolus. Books and
music are purchased by name and
flowers ought to be bought the same
way, if one is to really know and love
them. Later one may go in for mix.

Edison Accorded Wide Praise
On Both Birthday Anniversary

Thomas A. Edsons eightieth birth
/ day anniversary was the occasion of
national appreciation through the
press of the marvellous contributions
of Americas outstanding genius to
civilization.
The man who invented the electric
lamp, the monograph and the motion
picture machine went to work at his
factory today, just as interested in life
as ever,s said the Wichita Beacon on
the birthday. He is still inventing
things. Thomas Edison at so years of
age is one of the mos. remarkable fig
ures in the world. lie Is the outstand
ing genius of Anerica. He. has added
more to the comfort and entertain
ment and mocha meal progress of this
age than any other single Individual.
1t is the perverse wa of human ma
ture not to give full credit where credit
is due until after great man or

approximat ton of tile homage that is

show their appreciation. The eyes OF

relatively speaking, but it holds a

to be cut and leaving seed trees

the forest is maintained on crop
