GLADIOLUS IN MIXTURE. 



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 bring- 

 ing this class of bulbs yearly into more extended notice. A succession of bloom may be had from July to September 

 by planting at intervals from A])ril 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 feed- 

 ing by enhanced size and beauty. 



To gain an eifect with Gladiolus they should be planted in a liberal manner and well manured. In no other plant 

 is there such diversity of color combined witii freedom of bloom and easy cultivation. The bulbs should be taken 

 up before frost and stored in a dry cellar or cool room, where they will not freeze. 



Light colors only 75 cts. per dozen; postpaid 85 cts. per dozen, $5.00 per 100 by express. 

 Extra fine mixed, all shades, 50 cts. per dozen, postpaid 60 cts. per dozen, $3.00 per 100 by express. 



GLOXINIA CRASSIFOLIA GRANDIFLORA. 



A charming class of summer blooming bulbs which succeed with ordinary care. They should be grown in a mod- 

 erately shady place, as the sun burns the foliage when wet, making brown spots appear. If planted in frames, they 

 will thrive admirably and produce their lovely flowers from June to September. After planting the bulbs in a mix- 

 ture of fibrous peat, light loam, manure and sand in equal parts, they require but little heat or water until they show 

 signs of growth, when the quantity of moisture and heat may be increased. Air should be plentifully supplied to 

 prevent damping off".- When the plants have done blooming dry gradually oflf, and keep in pots over winter in a 

 moderately warm place, or under the staging of a greenhouse. 



W^e have made a specialty of the Gloxinia for many years, and have added all the improved strains as tliey have 

 appeared, until our collection is unsurpassed either in this country or abroad. The past season we have added a 

 strain of richly marbled and spotted sorts; also a fine strain of large self-colored varieties. The named varieties we 

 offer are specially good, and our mixtures include flowers of lovely form and hue.
