New Giant Gladiolus: 



NEW 



"SNOW=WHITE" 



GLADIOLUS. 



This is the best White Gladiolus. The flowers 

 are elegantly formed, and are of great sub- 

 stance. The spikes are set solidly and perfectly 

 with the flowers from bottom to top. The entire 

 flower is a perfect paper-white, with a slight cream 

 shade on lower half of the lower petal. A sug- 

 gestion only of purple is sometimes seen on tha 

 lower petal, when the flowers are allowed to 

 develop in the field. If the spikes are cut when 

 the first two or four flowers open and are allowed 

 to develop in water in the house, it is positively 

 snow-while. It is a good strong grower, in many 

 cases producing three spikes from one bulb. To 

 get the largest flowers and spikes, cut off all 

 but one spike. Tlie Massachusetts Horti- 

 cultural Society awarded this Gladiolus the 

 Prize as the b«st white Gladiolus introduced, 

 and also thre« years before a FirstrClass Certifi- 

 cate of Merit. Price, free by mail, 20 cts. each, 

 $2.00 pw doz.

Gorgeous Colors and Marvelous Markings. Enormous Flowers the Size of Tea Plates. 



This new race of extraordinarily beautiful Gladiolus represents the grandest achievements in the perfection of this genus since 

 its introduction. It is a cross between Saundersii and Lemoinei, and has not only retained the long-lasting properties and the 

 beautiful spots of the latter, but its flowers have reached enobmous dimensions, far stjbpassing any others, and much resembling 

 Orchids of the brightest hues and most curious designs.
