Gladiolus Ctaildsi. 



It is difficult to describe flowers of such varied and peculiar beauty 

 as these Gladioli. They are very tall and erect, often standing four or 

 five feet high, with spik^-s of bloom over two feet in length. The flowers 

 are of great substance and of 

 gigantic size, frequently 7 to 9 

 inches across. Orchids cannor 

 surpass them in their varied 

 and delicate shades, markings 

 and blendings. From every 

 quarter come words of warmest 

 praise for their unexcelled 

 magnificence. Choice mixed. 

 Per doz. 40 cts., per 100 $3.
