New Gladioli. | 
The gladiolus is one of the most beautiful of 
the summer-flowering bulbs, and is of easiest 
culture. The spikes of brilliant flowers attain 
a height of 2 or 3 feet. The color range is rich 
and varied, including all the showy fiery tints. 
This year I offer the choicest of the rew sorts. 
The Lemoine group is characterized by fantas- 
tic markings: They are almost hardy, and 
will live over winter in the open ground with 
slight protection. Still, I think it is better to 
house them in late autumn and set them in 
new soil in the spring. The Chiidsii group 1s 
remarkable for size of spike and blossom. 
The Nanceanus group excels in varied range 
of color and large, well opened flowers.

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 
safely remain in the ground all winter. Grown in pots they 
make fine house plants. 10c. each; 3 for 25c.; 85c. per dozen. 
NYMPHAEA ODORATA. 
This is the well-known and popular fragrant pond lily, whose | 
white blossoms are more unlvesally 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; 2 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 
ne green, beautifully variegated with white and pale gold. 
farkings much varied. It thrives in sun or shade; in pots or 
open ground. The tuber starts quickly and grows well, and the 
plants prove to be very ornamental. 15 cts. each; 2 for 25 cts.
