It is claimed for Gladiolus princeps
that It la the largest, best shaped, most
brilliant and most graceful gladiolus ln
existence. De Vilmorin, the French
authority, says:
Gladiolus princeps Is the latest
qulaltlon among garden hybrids of this
genus. Four species hare helped In Its
production.
The honor of producing this hybrid
belongs to an American. Dr. Van Fleet
of Little Silver. It is now more than
twenty-flve years ago since Gladiolus
cruentus, originally from South Africa,
was sent to William Bull by a Swiss

The growth of the tree itsslf also

take carbonic acid gas from the air
they break It up and force Its carbon
Into new chemical compounds, which
are then stored away as new material
In the tree.

other substances upon which the plant
feeds. But the elements are less at
ease In these new
compounds, and
heat is required to force them to make
the change. When we bum wood for
fuel we are simply getting back again
the heat which was used to bring about
this change. So we may aay roughly
that the air about the tree during

heat as would be given off if the whole
tree were burned.
