FINE SELECTED GLADIOLI. 



The Gladiolus is well known as the most brilliant and haiidsome of all summer-flowering 

 bnlbs ; no flower you can plant makes such a brilliant display of gorgeous-colored flowers for 

 so little mouey. They are easy to grow and sure to bloom, — one of the flowers that take very 

 little room, as they can be planted among shrubbery or other flowers, or in beds or clumps by 

 themselves. By planting at different times, from April till July, you will have flowers from 

 July till October. Plant three inches deep and four inches apart. When done blooming in 

 October, lift the roots and store in cellar ; they keep as easy as potatoes, and are ready to plant 

 again next season. My Gladioli are from the finest stock in the world, — remarkable for large 

 size of flowers and wonderful brilliancy and variety of color. They always attract attention.

My Splendid Seedling Gladioli are grown from the finest French Hybrid varieties, and 

 are every way equal to the best named kinds, which cost many times more. They include all 

 desirable shades of rich crimson, pink, buff, salmon, yellow, white, lemon, rose, maroon, scarlet, 

 cherry, etc., besides beautifully variegated, striped, and mottled varieties, scarcely any two alike, 

 and undoubtedly the most superb Gladioli now offered by any one.
