____ WONDERFUL improvements have been shown in this plant the past few years and every sea- 
~ son adds some striking novelties. Our collections this year are far ahead of anything offered 
before, and embrace all the European intreductions of this season, as well as the collections A 
and B, which were offered for the first time last spring; these we are now able, on account of 
_ our yery large stock, to supply at a price permitting their use in large quantities. The spikes 
_ of large flowers somewhat resemble Gladiolus but their much more brilliant colors show 
_ grandly against the tropical foliage, which seldom exceeds four feet in height; che flowers range 
in color from the deepest crimson, orange scarlet. and salmon to light yellow, many being beau- 
 tifully mottled and streaked.
