SUMMER FLOWERING BULBS 
FOR PLANTING IN THE SPRING. 
BULBS READY FOR DELIVERY IN OCTOBER. 
THE MOST PROMINENT IN THIS SECTION ARE THE RARE AND BEAUTIFUL 
FRENCH BYBRID GLADIOLUS. 
They are the most stately and effective of the whole genus; being of a robust erect 
growth, with green sword-shaped leaves and magnificent flower scapes rising from three 
to five feet in height. The colors comprise the most brilliant of orange, scarlet and ver- 
million tints upon yellow and orange grounds, including a graduated scale of interme- 
diate shades, from white with rosy blush and salmon rose tints, to a salmon-red and 
nankeen ; from blush-white with purple crimson throat, and marginal streaks of pink, 
to light rosy salmon grounds, with flakes of deep carmine. A succession of bloom may 
be had from July to September, by planting at intervals from April to June, reserving 
the strongest bulbs for the latest planting. Their culture is very simple: they will grow 
in any ordinary garden-mould, but succeed best in good earth, manured with well-rotted 
horse-dung. The bulbs are taken up in the fall and placed in a dry cellar, protected 
from frost.
