GLADIOLI. 



These may be planted in the open garden from April until 

 June. They succeed in ordinary garden soil, and well repay any 

 care in cultivation bestowed upon them. The ground should be 

 liberally enriched and dug over to a depth of fifteen to eighteen 

 inches. The bulbs should be set four inches deep and six inches 

 apart. Clumps of Gladioli planted through shrubbery borders are 

 most effective, also among beds of roses, where they will bloom 

 when the roses have passed. 



Farquhar's Prize Seedlings Mixed. A magnificent strain 

 producing flower spikes of fine form and substance and of most 

 charming colors. Many of the flowers are self-colored or del- 

 icately marked, while others have white or light grounds, beau- 

 tifully blotched or striped with bright colors. Doz., .40 ; 100,
