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 HYBRID 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 vermillion tints upon 

 yellow and orange grounds, including a graduated scale of intermediate 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-TOtted horse-dung. The bulbs are taken up in the fall and placed in 

 a dry cellar, protected from frost.
