Lemoine’s Hysrio GLApDiOLus. 
New Gladioli. | 
The gladiolus is one of the most beautiful 
summer-flowering bulbs, and is of easiest cul- | 
ture. The spikes of brilliant flowers attaina 
height of about two feet. The color range is 
rich and varied, including all the fiery tints. 
This year I offer an almost entirely new list 
of gladiolus bulbs, made up of Lemoine’s new 
hardy butterfly hybrids, characterized by 
their glowing and fantastic markings. They 
are almost strictly hardy, and will live out 
over winter, with slight protection, but I 
would prefer to house them and put them in 
new ground each year. Prices end of list. 
ATLAS. Clear violet, with large velvety 
maroon blotch. Large spike. 
ADMIRAL COURBET. Finest of the pur- | 
ples in this class. Resembles a rare orchid. 
ADMIRAL PIERRE. Dark carmine, 
blotched with maroon, bordered with yellow. | 
ANDRE. Beautiful lively scarlet, with deep | 
ebony blotch. An extra bold and effective | 
flower. Long spikes and large flower. 
Cc. HEINEMAN. Upper petals fiery red. Lower pet- 
als crimson edged with gold. A beautiful combination. | 
CHAS. MARTEL. A pure, rosy blush, with intense | 
carmine blotch. Very distinct from all others. 
EMILE LEMOINE. Bright vermillion, dotted with | 
gold like an exotic butterfly. Very curious. 
ENRANTE DE NANCY. The upper petals a purple 
red; the lower ones crimson. Very distinct. 
ETANDARD. A pleasing bright but light red, with 
large yellow and crimson blotches. Fine spikes. 
FROEBELI. A delicate light pink, with curious purple 
blotch. An extra fine flower and large spike. 
INCENDIA. Flaming red; the brilliancy of this is so bright 
as to be seen ata great distance. Indispensable for effect. 
LAMARTINE. Pure rosy flesh color, with bright purple 
blotch. This delicate and light variety is one of the best. 
LA FRANCE. A light salmon, with large purple blotch 
on yellow ground. Quite unique. Makes a fine bouquet flower. 
IRON MASK. Rich, deep, blackish crimson, the darkest of the 
gladioli in this list. It is unique and will be needed for contrast. 
MARIE LEMOINE. Very large flower of pale cream color; 
lower petal violet maroon, bordered yellow. Brilliant and beautiful. 
OBELISK. Rich solferino, with deep crimson blotch, tipped with yel-| 
low. A most beautiful combination of rich colors and markings. | 
ORRIEFLAMME. A rich crimson shaded almost black. Magnificent 
spike and flower. One of the very best. Should be in every collection. 
GOLDEN SCEPTRE. A fine, large, yellow flower, the best in this class. 
Ii enlivens the whole collection and produces a pleasing contrast.

One of each of the above 18 Lemoine’s New Hardy Butterfly Hybrids, a 
collection of rarest beauty and variety and of most vivid markings, $1.00. 
Maule’s Extra Fine Mixed Gladiolus. 
Large blooming bulbs, representing not only the above described choice 
Lemoine Hardy Hybrids, but all the best of the older sorts. 3 for 10 cts.; 
35 cts. per dozen; $1.75 per 100, postpaid. By express, $1.25 per 100; $11.00 per 1,000. 
‘Tuberoses. 
The tuberose is so universally known and grown that no description of it 
is necessary. The illustration shows the perfected type. It is the most con- 
spicuously sweet-scented of all the summer-flowering bulbs and is so easily 
grown that everybody may enjoy it. The long spikes of wax-like flowers are 
rich rewards for the slight trouble involved in its culture. Get the bulbs into 
the ground as soon as the weather becomes warm. My stock of bulbs is un- 
usually fine this year, insuring profusion of bloom. 
EXCELSIOR DWARE DOUBLE PEARL. The best sort 
known. Notas tallas the old double Italian, but yields longer 
spikes. The flowers are large, full double and extremely sweet. 
5 cents each; 6 for 25 cents ; 45 cents per dozen ; 30 for $1.00, post- 
paid. By express, $1.25 per 100.

white ; flowers single, very large and extremely early, blooming 
several weeks in advance of other single sorts; very fragrant 
and excellent as a bouquet flower. 8 cts. each; 4 for 25 cts.; 9 for 
50 cts.; 65 cts. per dozen, postpaid. By express, $3.50 per 100. 
PERSIAN RANUNCULUS. 
The Persian ranunculus are very free flowering and their 
blooms are of the greatest beauty. The colors range from white 
to almost black, with all the delicate tints of the rainbow inter- 
mediate. They are continuous and free-flowering; the cut 
blooms are exceptionally fine for bouquets, lasting a long while 
in water after being cut. The bulbs are perfectly hardy and may

make fine house plants. 10c. each; 3 for 25c.; 8c. per dozen. 
NYMPHAEA ODORATA. 
This is the well-known and common fragrant pond lily, whose 
white blossoms are more univesally sought for and enjoyed 
than the flowers of any other sort. It is so easily grown so ad- 
mirable and so cheap that I urge its use wherever shallow 
water is within reach of the cultivator. It is only necessary to 
set the roots in the mud, in similar situations with other 
aquatic plants and preferably where the water is sluggish. The 
roots will live over winter in the mud. 15 cts. each; Z for 25 cts. 
PHRYNIUM VARIEGATUM. 
This interesting plant (see illustration) is somewhat like a 
canna in habit of growth; leaves 6 to 10 inches long and 2 to 4 
inches broad, of oblong lanceolate form. Color of leaf, clear
