CHOICE NAMED GL ADIOLUS. 



Varieties which flower first are marked A; those which flower somewhat later, B; still later, C; the latest, D. 



The exquisite beauty of the CHOICE NAMED GLADIOLUS is not sufficiently known. Many rare varieties do not propagate 

 fast enough to enable us to put them in mixtures, which is the way the majority of people get Gladiolus. Therefore to induce trial 

 of these magnificent sorts, we offer them this season at the very low and uniform price of 10 cts. each ; $1.00 per dozen (except the 

 iirL-L i-ii _■■ i I Butterfly or Lemoines, which are 25c. each ; ^j ,-. „ , _,. ,. .
