Hybrid 
Gladiolus 
We ask special attention to our splendid Hy- 
brid Gladiolus which have been constaniiy im- 
proved year after year, by discarding all undesira- 
ble flowers and developing new shades and com- 
binations of colors, and we feel safe in saying they 
? nowstand at the head of all Gladiolus offered in this 
country, and are among the grandest of all Summer 
flowering bulbs. They cost but little, are no trouble to grow 
and absolutely sure to bloom. They do well everywhere. 
The bulbs will keep in any warm dry place till wanted, and by 
planting at different times a few days apart you can have a suc- 
cession of grand flowers from June till November; when killed 
down by frost, lift the roots, cut off the tops and store in cellar, 
and they will keep perfectly till time to plant again next season. 
Remember, we send choice selected bulbs only; such as are 
sure to produce iarge flowers of greatest beauty.
