GLADIOLI. EARLY FLOWERING. 



Si. 25 

 1.50 



THESE Gladioli are now extensively used by gardeners and florists for winter forcing; the 

 dwarf, branching gracefully-formed flowers being excellent for cut-flower use. If the spikes 

 are cut and placed in water when the first blossoms appear, they will keep expanding and 

 remain beautiful for a week or two. Five or six bulbs planted in six-inch bulb-pans or pots make 

 charming groups for conservatory or window decoration; the bulbs should be set an inch and 

 a half deep. Ready in November. 



The following varieties may be planted in autumn in the open ground if mulched sufficiently 

 to exclude frost, or they may be kept in moist earth in a cellar or pit during winter and planted 

 in the open ground about the middle of April. 



Colvillei Alba. {The Bride.) Excellent forcing variety, producing 



compact spikes of pure white flowers of long duration 



Colvillei Rosea. A beautiful variety with delicate pink flowers . 

 Cardinalis Ackermani. Salmon flaked carmine, violet eye 



Apollo. Orange-salmon, blotched deep orange 



Blushing Bride. Beautiful ivory white, with crimson flakes 



Fiery Knight. Dark scarlet, flaked carmine 



General Scott. White, tinged with delicate rose 



L'Unique. Fiery orange-red, blotched white 



Mathilde. White, beautifully tinged with lilac-rose 



Orange Queen. Orange-scarlet, blotched white
