LARGEST BLOOM IN
 WORLD UNFOLDS

New York, July 3.-(UP)-The worlds largest bloom attracted and at the same time repelled visitors to the Bronx Botanical Gardens today The bloom came suddenly into being yesterday when the parks giant Krubi of Sumatra unfolded two days ahead of schedule, revealing beau- tifully colored flower four feet in diameter and more than five fen high. The beauty, however, was n matched by its odor which, an at | tendant said, resembled that of "a pile of rotten fish"
 The Krubi, known to botanists as amorphophallus Titanum, was ex- pected to burst its thick stalk and bloom July 4, but yesterdays warm sun caused it to flower prematurely
 The bloom, which probably will fade and die before the day is over, resembled a giant morning glory with fluted sides and ruffled edges. a rich maroon inside and greenish-yel- low outside.
