CONARD'S FINE SELECTED GLADIOLI. 



We ask particular attention to our magnificent strains of Splendid Hybrid Gladioli, and cordially recom- 

 mend them as among the most brilliant and handsome of all summer-flowering bulbs. No other flowers you can 

 plant make such a brilliant display of gorgeous-colored flowers for so little money ; they are easily gxown and 

 absolutely sure to bloom ; they take very little room, as they may be planted among shrubbery or other flowers with- 

 out injury, or in beds or clumps by themselves. The bulbs will keep dry till wanted, and by planting at different 

 times from April till July you can have a grand display of flowers from June till October. Plant three inches deep 

 and four inches apart. When killed down by frost lift the roots, cut off the tops, and store in cellar ; they keep as 

 easy as potatoes, and are ready to plant again next season. Do not fail to give them a trial this year. They are the 

 finest strains in existence and give immense satisfaction.
