GLADIOLUS. 



The most attractive of all summer-flowering bulbs are the Gladioli. 

 Wonderful improvements have been made in recent years in the size 

 and beauly of these flowers, and our list comprises only the best selec- 

 tions, both in our mixtures and named sorts. Their cultivation is very 

 simple, as they will thrive in any ordinary garden soil, but amply repay 

 care and liberal feeding by enhanced size and beauty. A succession of 

 blooiii may be had from July to September by planting at intervals from 

 April to June. The strongest bulbs should be kept for the latest plant- 

 ing. Plmt six inches apart in beds or double row and three inches 

 deep. They are very effective when planted among roses, shrubbery, 

 etc. In the fall, before frost, the bulbs should be lifted, dried and 

 stored in a cellar or some other position away from frost, for planting 

 again the following spring.
