LEHOINE'S HYBRID OR SPOTTED GLADIOLUS 



This brilliant and remarkable class of Gladioli was originated by Mr. Lemoine, of France. They are- 

 quite distinct, with large, open flowers of vivid, rich, Orchid-like coloring. In the blotch, which is * 

 striking feature of the flower, the coloring is exceptionally attractive. These are much hardier than the 

 Gandavensis hybrids. Our mixture contains a great number of fine varieties.

 colors. They include pure white lightly veined with pale 

 yellow, delicate shades of lilac, lavender and light blue, bright 

 shades of rose and crimson, rich coppery red, claret, purple, 

 violet and dark blue; in most of them the throat is blotched 

 with deep yellow, and in some a veination of the same color 

 over the entire flower, contrasting beautifully with the ground 

 color. 



This class particularly requires a rich, moist soil which 

 should be kept saturated while the flower spikes are being de- 

 veloped and while the plants are in bloom.
