NEW GLADIOLUS. 91 



Zeppo TJree. — White ; of tlie Longiflorum species. 



If we judge of the future by the past, then we may ex- 

 pect to receive many more very fine lilies from Japan. 

 By crossing the many varieties already in our possession 

 we shall be able to produce new sorts, equal, and probably 

 much superior, to any that we now have. 



In the first volume of the Recced of Hoeticultuee 

 will be found a list of the best species and varieties of 

 lilies, and notes on their cultivation and j^ropagation. 



NEW GLADIOLUS. 



The list of new varieties is very large, as usual ; in fact, 

 there are altogether too many. No one can think of keep- 

 ing them all, and they are becoming so numerous, that few 

 will attempt to remember their names, much less the 

 characteristics of each. In addition to our list of last 

 year, we give the names and a condensed description of 

 twelve more really sj^lendid new varieties : 



Anais. — Flower, of handsome form, white, slightly 

 tinged with lilac, with broad sulphur stains, and stripes of 

 lilac carmine ; plant, of a dwarf habit. 



Bernard de Jussieu. — Flower, very large, violet shaded 

 with cherry color and purple. 



Eugene Scribe. — Flower, large, light, rose splashed with 

 carminate red. 



Etendard. — Flower, very large, white blazed Avith lilac. 



La Fiance. — Flower, large and very perfect, pure 

 white, Avith small violet stains. 



Monsieur A. Brengmart. — FloAver, large and perfect, 

 rose color, slightly tinged Avith orange blazed Avith red.
