The most attractive of all summer-flowering bulbs are the Gladioli. Wonderful improvements have been made in recent j-ears 

 in the size and beauty of these flawers, and our list comprises only the best selections, both in our mixtures and named sorts. 

 Their cultivation is very simple, as they vi'ill thrive in any ordinary garden soil, but amply repay care and liberal feeding bv en- 

 hanced size and beauty. 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 late<;t planting. Plant 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.

 remarkably strong growth and generally produce several flower spikes. Height 1\ to 3 feet when in full bloom. Three years 

 ago this variety sold at $2.00 each ; our ample stock enables us to offer it this season at 75 cts. each ; $7.50 per doz.
