GERANIUMS, IVY-LEAVED. 



Although the foliage of this class is of sufficient interest to warrant its cultivation, 

 yet the value is greatly enhanced by the beauty and profusion of its flowers during the 

 spring and summer months, running through the various shades of white, pink and 

 crimson. The list below is selected as giving the widest range of color. They are well 

 adapted for rock work or vases, and for drooping over baskets,.or trained on tr*ellises, are 

 unsurpassed ; few plants give more satisfaction for house culture. One-half of those 

 named below are the high-priced sorts of previous years.

GLADIOLUS, FRENCH HYBRID. 



The varieties of this beautiful class are now so numerous, and many of them so much 

 resembling each other, that we do not give a descriptive list of varieties. Our collection 

 however, is very select, embracing about thirty distinct sorts. Gladiolus, by planting 

 every two weeks (from 1st May to 1st July,) will give a succession of bloom from July 

 until November. The bulbs are of the easiest culture, never failing to bloom. Our prices 

 this season, owing to the large stock we hold, are much reduced. They are now so low 

 that beds exclusively of Gladiolus may be planted at small cost. Our seedling bulbs are 

 of large size, embracing hundreds of varieties, and at prices lower than we have ever be- 

 fore offered them. 



Price 25 cents each ; $2 50 per dozen. 50 choice flowering bulbs, in 25 named sorts, 

 $7 50. 100 choice flowering bulbs, in 25 named sorts, $12.
