PRIZE-WINNING BLOOMS
PRESENTED TO PRESIDENT
HEN A. E. Kunderd, cham
pion gladiolus grower of
America, called recently
at the summer White
House to pay his respects
to President Coolidge, his “card"
was a basket of the choicest
blooms ever produced in this coun
try—each spike a prize-winner at
the Rochester, N. Y., show of the
American Gladiolus Society.
Annually, this exhibition at
tracts thousands of entries from
amateur as well as professional
growers in every state. More
than 200,000 blooms, entered by
some 5,000 florists, were in com
petition this year; and the basket
presented to President Coolidge
was carefully selected from the
donor’s display which won 47 first
prizes, 19 second prizes and 6 spe
cial Awards of Merit, including the
society’s grand sweepstakes medal
for the highest individual scorer.
Mr. Kunderd, wrho was an inti
mate friend of Luther Burbank and
PIONEER PROSPECTOR
EN ROUTE TO PLACER
CAMP IN FAR NORTH
By railroad to Nenana and up the
Tanana and Yukon rivers to a point
west of Fort Yukon, thence on foot
into the Arctic circle is the route
taken by G. C. O’Brien, pioneer pros
pector and trapper, who passed thru
i
Seward recently. O’Brien has a placer
camp in the far north which he has
worked for some time.
For three years O’Brien has been
outside, but the call was too strong
and he is making his way back to old
haunts. “It is the only life,” he said.
“When a man has spent the years
that I have in the north, he makes a
poor wage-earner in the States. I tried
it and failed. My diggings in the north
aren’t so very good, but I’d rather be
there than in Seattle.” He expects to
reach his objective about October 1.

intend to kill her sweetheart, but
wanted to disfigure him.

perhaps the last person to hold an
extended conversation with that
wizard of plant life, is an outstand
ing figure in the horticultural
world. His achievements in devel
oping the ruffled and laciniated
types of gladiolus have brought him
fame in every land, and his 63-acre
gladiolus farm, at Goshen, Ind., is
accounted the world’s greatest
testing ground for flowers.
Last season, in these huge trial
beds, there were growing more
than 8,000 different varieties of
gladioli grown separately, more
than 40,000 select kinds in mix
tures, some 300,000 different seed
lings and more than 1,000,000 new
seedlings coming on.
Among the prize-winners which
Mr. Kiuiderd presented to Presi
dent Coolidge were several speci
mens of one of these seedlings
which he has named, by special
permission, in honor of the First
Lady Of the land.
