Plainville Gladiolus More Than Million Flowering Bulbs What Started as a Hobby for William Carpenter Has Developed Into An Extensive Business—Sham- rocks Also Are Raised and Now Blooming (Special to the Herald) Bristol, Aug. 11.—A two-hour wait for a Bristol train in Hartford 15 years ago was simply another tough break to most passengers—to Willlam H. Carpenter of Plainville— or Bill Carpenter ,as he is known to his friends—it meant the dawning of & hobby which he has followed ever since and at the same time turned into a lucrative business. On that day Mr. Carpenter, hav- ing nothing better to do, dropped into one of the large department stores in Hartford. Stopping from time to time to pass a friendly word with acquaintances, he finally reached the seed department where he noticed what at first glance looked like a small onion. The usual odor associated with that vegetable was lacking, however, and he jok- ingly asked the clerk, “Do you cook those or eat them raw?” Immedi- ately the reply came back, “You do neither, you plant them.” Mr. Car- penter purchased half a dozen of the bulbs, which happened to be gladi- olus. Thesc he planted near the veranda of his home and because of the lack of sunlight, the plants grew poorly, although they did bloom. The next vear they were planted in the garden with astonishing results. Having an appreciative eye for beauty, the original half dozen were augmented from time to time by different varieties until today W. H. Carpenter and Son have, adjoining their beautiful home on Forestville avenue, Plainville, more than one million flowering bulbs planted over two and one-half acres of land. A reporter had the pleasure of gpending over twe hours with Rill Carpenter Thursday afternoon. For pehaps an hour they walked be- tween a few hundred of the rows, gazing at the beautv and magnifi cence of some of the rare bloom With the critical eye of a newsps perman, he looked for a weed or an irregularity in one of the row but the search proved vam. The Tows were as straight as if laid out by a surveyor and the weeds were as scarce as orchids in the Arctic wastes. The plants in each row were supported on both sides by wires strung from stakes at either end of the row. The names of the 500 or more varieties were placed on small pegs. And such varieties—from the gradocaphaelus, the original flower from the South African jungles, to the latest specimens,“many of which were imported from all parts of the world. The bulbs are planted so as to have blooms from the earlicst blooming period to frost time. Some of the plants at the present time are but six or eight inches above the ground, while thousands of others| are in fuil bloom. All of the cultivating is done with & motor cultivator, the’rows being separated a sufficient distance . to permit its operation betw#en’them. * Many Varieties and Names Walking through the garden, at- tention is called to the varieties, the names of which are given by Mr. Carpenter without hesitation and without reference to the page at the end of the rows. First the reporter saw the “Albania,” an at- tractive new glistening white, petals broad, well round and:crimped on NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1928, is productive.

The flower was named in honor of the 8t. Thomas president of the Ameri- can Gladiolus society last year. The “Dr. Nelson Shook,” brought out in 1925, is a glant in plant and flower of deep tyrian rose. This flower was awarded the first prize at the show ot the American Gladiolus society in Rochester in August, 1925. The “Dr. Van Fleet” is another bloom of remarkable beauty and size. It is a magnificent shade of delicate rose pink. deeper at the edges of all petals. The throat of the flower is of softest canary vel- low or cream tint beautifully blended. “Early Sunrise” was another bloom noticed for its remarkable beauty, having the colors of a sun- rise before a storm. The “Elf” is of lemon yellow when in bud; fully open the flowers are snow white with mottled and striped with ruby lip; yellow speckled with ruby: the flowers being five inches in diameter and the apokes five feet high. “Fay Lanphier,” named after Miss America, is termed the latest and the acme in gladioli culture. In coloring it is a coral luster with cerise blending, distinct in type, color and poise. It receives the same award by judges as Miss Lan- phier did at Atlantic City, thus mak- ing it the queen of beauty and worthy of a place in the finest col- lections. “Fern Kyle" is a large ruf- fled flower of creamy white color, while “Flame” is a flagie _orange with yellow lip. “Golden Measure” is congidered one of the best yellows, the flowers being extraordinarily large. “Gold,” while not as large a flower as “Golden Measure,” is one of the fullest growing yellows in existence. “Geraldine Farrar,” named after the operatic star. is clear deep sky blue, with small dark spit in lower petal, flowers six inches in diameter and spikes 5 to 6 feet tall. It has four side spikes on main ‘sptke and brings two extra spikes from the bottom up, out of the same eye, which is extremely new from any varieties ever seen. The “Giant Nymph,” a coleman origination, is a giant in growth and flowers, having reached the height of 5 ft. 8 inches without irrigation. In color, it is light rose pink with creamy yellow throat.
