Earl}^ Gladioli, Glaieuls Precoces, are hybrids produced b}^ Lemoine 

 and offered by him in his catalog no. 149, for 1901-1902. It is there 

 stated that these varieties are hybrids between some of Lemoine's earliest 

 varieties and the Httle-known species G. Leichtlinii and G. aiirantiacus. 

 This race flowers, it is said, about a month in advance of the earliest of 

 the previously introduced varieties. When set out in April the plants 

 flower in June; and if set out in the autumn with the protection of a 

 glass frame, they develop their flowers at the same time as G. Colvillei. 

 The varieties offered in the autumn of 1901 were Eclaireur, Mesager, 

 Pleiade, and Precocite. Since these were introduced there have appeared 

 the following:

G. excelsior covers hybrids of the best varieties of G. gandavensis crossed 

 with G. nanceianus. The flowers are described as very large and open, 

 ranging in color from salmon-scarlet to soft blush-rose with a scarlet or 

 cream- colored blotch, or a crimson blotch on a white ground. Barr 

 offered these varieties as a new strain in his catalog for 1903. 



The name Express Gladioli has been applied to the crosses of G. alatus 



with G. cuspidatiis produced by C. G. van Tubergen, jr., of Haarlem, 



Holland. Van Tubergen (1907:440) describes them as follows: 



A selection of crosses between G. alatus and G. cuspidatus aie dwarf -growing, very 

 free-flowering gladioli which flower in the open ground quite three weeks before the
