GLADIOLUS. 
Early Flowering, Hardy Varieties. 
Among these are some of the most useful of the 
Gladiolus, flowering in May and June, when flowers are 
greatly in demand. For cutting purposes they are 
invaluable, as they will last in water for weeks after 
being cut; and as the flowers are smaller than autumn 
flowering sorts, they make up well for bouquets. They 
are hardier than most of the Gladiolus, but will not 
stand severe winters without covering. They are 
usually planted in October, and are covered on the 
approach of severe weather. 
FREESIA. 
By mail postpaid. 
These are among the most beautiful of all Cape 
bulbs, possessing a peculiar grace of form and their 
fragrance is most delightful, one pot of 5 or 6 bulbs 
being sufficient to perfume a whole house. As cut 
flowers they are extremely valuable, the unexpanded 
blooms opening in water fill the air with the most deli- 
cate perfume, and their endurance is really remarkable. 
They force very easily, and can be had in flower at 
Christmas, and continue in succession until June.
