GLADIOLUS RAMOSUS. 



Although an old variety, its culture is not generally understood, even among 

 professional florists. We have found it one of our most valuable winter blooming- 

 plants, as a bouquet flower. The bulb should be potted in June, in five-inch pots, 

 and as soon as the pots are filled with roots, shift into seven-inch pots ; remove to 

 the greenhouse upon the approach of cold weather. Bloom from December to 

 April. Beautiful rose, marked with white and carmine. 



Price, 50 cents each; $5.00 per dozen. 



IXIA. 



The best season for planting these beautiful flower-bulbs is during the autumn 

 months ; being small, they are most effective when planted in stores of three, four, 

 or six, in each pot, of four or six inches in diameter.
