DaMias. Fine double named varieties. Plants so well known 

 for their brilliancy, diversity of colors, and profuse flowering 

 qualities, that they require no recommendation. They can be planted 

 from February till May; they thrive best in rich loamy soil. They 

 should be tied up to stakes, which ought to be driven into the ground 

 before or when planting them. To have them flower late in the season, 

 they should be planted late in spring, and the flower buds nipped off 

 when they appear; treated 

 in this way, they will pro- 

 duce perfect flowers during 

 fall. Undivided roots $4.00 

 per dozen. 



Gladiolus. Hybrid Gla- 

 diolus. One of the best sum- 

 mer flowering bulbs ; they 

 have been greatly improved 

 of late years, and almost 

 every color has been pro- 

 duced ; tinged and blotched 

 in all shades from delicate 

 rose to dark vermillion. 

 When planted at intervals 

 during spring, they will 

 flower at different times, but 

 those that are planted ear- 

 liest produce the finest flow- 

 ers. The roots should be 

 taken up in the fall.
