BOLGIANO'S 



Extra Superior Gladiolus. 



OUR MAGNIFICENT collection of the most beautiful French and 

 American Hybrid Seedlings contains hundreds of varieties, com- 

 prising all imaginable colors, shades and variegations, from the 

 most gorgeous and dazzling to the softest and most delicate 

 shades. It deserves to be grown in every garden. For cutting they 

 are invaluable, the flowers lasting in water a week. There is nothing 

 in the floral kingdom so easy of culture and so sure of a success as the 

 Gladiolus. They can be planted any time from April to June loth, and 

 never fail to flower the same season. They grow in any garden soil 

 and commence blooming in July, and by successive plantings every two 

 or three weeks would be had in flower until checked by frost. The 

 bulbs can be furnished by us any time now, and they can be easily 

 kept in a paper bag until you are ready to plant. They should be 

 planted 6 inches apart, in rows 4 inches deep, and are very effective 

 when planted amongst Cannas, Calladiums or other dwarf shrubs. Our 

 seedlings can be thoroughly relied upon to 

 bloom freely, and to embrace all shades of buff, 

 salmon, pink, crimson, yellow, white, maroon, 

 scarlet, cherry and beautiful, variegated and 

 oddly marked varieties. Large size 

 bulbs, guaranteed to flower, 4 lor

GUARANTEED BLOOMERS. 



THIS pure white, perfectly dou- 

 ble, delightfully fragrant flow- 

 er, invaluable for bouquets, is 

 too well known to need any de- 

 scription. It delights in a strong, 

 rich, deep, well-drained, warm soil; 

 manure, heat and water are es- 

 sential to its perfect development. 

 This variety grows only 24 inches, 

 about half the height of the old 

 double sort, and the flowers are 

 nearly twice the size (often two 

 inches in diameter), and Imbricat- 

 ed like a Camelia; deliciously fra- 

 grant. (See cut.) For early flow- 

 ers they can be started in Feb- 

 ruary or March in the greenhouse 

 or hot-bed, and for a succession 

 they can be planted at intervals 

 as late as August. For flowering 

 in the open border plant them the 

 first of May. Large roots, per doz., 

 15c.; per 100. 75c. Add Ic. per 

 root if to go by mail. Extra 

 large roots, half doz., 15c. s doz., 

 25e.; per 100, .$1.00. Add 2c. per 

 root if to go by mail.
