Regarding: the introduction to com- merce of this popular gladiolus, George Bunyard, of the Royal Nurseries, jraidstone, writes to say that he no- ^ ' d a statement in a contemporary rci^^-'tly to the effect that enquiries have been made respecting the origin of Gladiolus Brenchleyensis at the vil- lage of Brenchley in Kent, but no par- ticulars could be gleaned. Mr. Bun- yard therefore wrote as follows : "In reference to your note as to origin of this gladiolus, allow me to say that over .")0 years back, my father pur- chased bulbs from the raiser, a Mr. Hooker, of Brenchley.
