Medal awarded Mr. Palmer by the New England Gladiolus Society for "Eminent Service in Breeding in producing the variety Picardy" The Palmer Strain of Gladiolus This strain is composed of varieties produced by Mr. E. F. Palmer, Vineland Station, Ontario. The varieties are noteworthy because of their exquisite beauty both of color and form and also good propagating qualities. In many of them the throats are perfectly clear color without the objectionable markings that many varieties have. Most of them are so outstanding in these characteristics that they constitute a separate strain. The forerunner of this strain was PICARDY. This variety has been on the market for several years but it is still the most outstanding variety in existence and the most popular glad- iolus in the world. It is not only ex- tremely out- standing itself but has prov- en to be an exce p t i onal parent to use in hybridiz- ing. Some fine seedlings of Picardy are already on the market and there are many more coming along to be intro- duced in the next few years. PIC- ARDY is so outstanding itself and as a breeder that the New England Gladiolus Society has awarded Mr. Palmer a gold medal for eminent service in breeding in producing this variety. Though two or three other varieties have been introduced in the last year or so that can be grown somewhat larger, Picardy still stands pre- eminent as the variety combining to the greatest extent large size and exhibition type spikes with beauty of color and form. There are many other fine varieties in this strain. In the smoky exhibition class I know of nothing that can touch BAGDAD. Growers who have tried DEB- ONAIR say that it is going to make a better cut flower variety even than PICARDY. DUN
