UGS THE BEST PLANTS 
















GELADIOUUS. 
Our list of this magnificent flower 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 coloring and distinct mark- 
ing. 
Our mixtures will also be found of a high standard of 
excellence. A succession of bloom may be had from July 
to September by planting at intervals from April to June. 
The strongest bulbs should be kept for the latest planting. 
The cultivation of Gladiolus is very simple, as they wilk 
thrive in any good garden soil, but amply repay care and 
liberal feeding by enhanced size and beauty. The bulbs 
should be taken up before frost and stored in a dry cellar 
New Graviotus, ‘‘SNow Wuite.” or cool room, where they will not freeze. 
GLADIOLUS IN MIXTURES. 
These mixtures have been made with special reference to color, time of flowering and quality of bloom. They 
will meet the views of our customers, as no poor sorts are used to cheapen the price. ‘The care that has been bestowed 
upon Gladiolus has resulted in the production of flowers of large size, charming colors and strong habit. These good 
points, coupled with the ease with which they may be grown and the prolonged season of blooming, are bringing this 
class of bulbs yearly into more extended notice.

GLADIOLUS, SNOW WHITE. 
This is undoubtedly the best White Gladiolus. The flowers are of 
fine shape, large in size and of a pure paper-white color, seldom show- 
ing a trace of any other shade. ‘he spikes are large and set thickly 
with flowers. When planted late, and the nights become very cool, it 
will be streaked with pink more than at any other time; even then, if 
the spikes are cut and placed in water when the four lower flowers are 
open, no trace of pink will appear in the remainder. If at any season 
of the year the spikes are cut when the first two or four lower flowers 
open, and are allowed to develop in water, it is positively snow-white. 
It is a good grower; bulbs healthy and strong, and in very many cases 
produces three spikes from each bulb, but to get the largest flowers and 
spike, only one spike should be allowed to grow.
