RECOGNIZE DEVELOPMENT OP M EN T OF BRUCEFIELD GLADIOLUS In a recent issue of the Gladiolus, Tidings, official publi- cation of the Wisconsin Gladio- lus Society; mention is made of the work of Murray E. Tyndall, Brucefield, in developing new varieties of gladi . s. The story, dealing with .e tremen- •dous strides made 1n the pur- ple field of gladiolus in .Can- ada, was written by Sydney Mode, Vanleek Hill. FUNERALS The story says in part: "King David was released in 1951 and ever since has been a favorite of all glad fans.But at of this time Murray Tyndall, On- tario, was . developing another great purple seedling to be re- leased the following year as Wonder Boy. So, with the -' vent of King David, r made many. crosses of these two outstanding purples. I certain- ly, felt that he would be well rewarded later for his efforts, although I did realize that crossing two noted varieties did not always produce favor- able ' results: Wonder Boy did make its debut in 1.952 and has been popular for the past ten years. "In 1959 Murray sent me a number of selected seedlings to test, including some of the purples from that cross. He also stated he had many more to forward the next season. It afforded me a great deal of enjoyment to grow these seed- lings, watch them bloom and score them, as I shad been very interested in the results of that earlier . cross. One proved a predominant favorite. It was a very dark, rich purple, carry- ing a white line on the lower petals and easily holding 10 to 11 open florets in ideal for- mal placement. When I sent the report to Murray, he named the seedling Sydney's Choice, thus it was released in 1960, the first of many to be intro- duced from this noted cross. "Wonder" doctors using sec- ret Methods, gadgets or medi- cines may promise„ to cure can- cer, but there's not one proven case on record to support their claims, according to the Cana- dian Cancer Society. - for in bloom, plant and appar- ent health. First to flower was a tall stately seedling with long straight heads. In color, a rose purple, slightly deeper at the throat; florets were large, nice- ly ruffled and well set. We de- scribed this as the tallest and largest purple. It was later to be named Pompus. Another early flowering, attractive rose purple with a• well-balanced spike, somewhat smaller in floret was Sovereign, a variety that pleased us during two sea- sons of testing. "A few days later another gorgeous purple burst open, a beautiful rich dark shade; the lower petals carried a very nar- row white picotee line and the main color deepened slightly at the throat. The Ottawa show was in progress . . . when the judging was finished it carried the champion seedling ribbon. This glad was later destined •to be released as Purple Crown. The fifth seedling bloomed the following day. I recorded it too as most outstanding. It was a self -colored wine purple, attractively ruffled with large needle pointed florets, blooms of ideal form and made' its debut in 1961 as Wonder Girl." Mr. Motorist Is, your ear waisting gas?
