atGLADIOLUS. 



We ask special attention to our splendid Hybrid Gladi- 

 olus which have been constantly improved year after 

 year, by discarding all undesirable flowers and develop- 

 ing new shades and combinations of colors, and we feel safe in 

 saying they now stand 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 succession of grand flowers from June 

 till November ; when killed down by frost, lift the roots, cut oil the 

 tops and store in cellar, and they will keep perfectly till time to plant 

 igain next season. Remember, we send choice selected bulbs only, 

 such as are sure to produce large flowers of greatest beauty.
