It created considerable interest as few of the people who viewed it knew that it was possible to grow dahlias from seed. Speaking of flowers, Mr. Rugg said they had grown beautiful glad iolas at their place, but found that the chief difference between grow ing "glads" here and at Grants Pass and other places where the flower has been made famous, is that the bulbs do not reproduce as well. He believed this might be attributable to a shorter growing season. O. E. S.
