GLADIOLUS. 



Our list of this charming flower has 

 again been revised, and includes only the 

 very choicest of the old sorts and the cream 

 of the new. Many more good sorts might 

 be listed ; but we have endeavored to offer 

 only those possessing the highest merit as 

 to size of flower and spike, purity of color- 

 ing and distinct marking. 



Our mixtures will also be found of a 

 high standard of excellence. A succession 

 of bloom may be had from July to Sep- 

 tember by ]ilaiitiiig at intervals from April 

 to June. The strongest bulbs should be 

 kept for the latest planting. The cultiva- 

 tion of Gladiolus is very simple, as they 

 will thrive in any good garden soil, but 

 amply repay care and liberal feeding by 

 eulianced size and beauly. The bulbs 

 should be taken up before frost and stored 

 in a dry cellar or cool room, where they 

 will not freeze.
