GLADIOLUS. 
The most attractive of all summer-flowering bulbs are the Gladioli. Wonderful improvements have been made in recent years 
in the size and beauty of these flowers, and our list comprises only the best, both in mixtures and named sorts. Their cultiva- 
tion is very simple, as they will thrive in any ordinary garden soil, but amply repay care and liberal feeding by enhanced size and 
beauty. A succession of bloom may be had from July to October by planting at intervals from April to June. The strongest bulbs 
should be kept for the latest planting. Plant six inches apart in beds or double rows and three inches deep. They are very effec- 
tive when planted among Roses, Pzonies, Shrubbery, ete In the fall the bulbs should be lifted, dried and stored in a cellar or» 
some other frost-free position for planting again the following spring.

SIX SUPERB NEW AND RARE GLADIOLUS. 
The following varieties are such vast improvement over existing sorts that they should be included in every first-class collection. 
Golden West. It is with pleasure that we introduce this brilliant and novel variety. We had it on trial the past season, and 
in the mass of new seedlings which we have seen in the last year or two’ none impressed us so favorably asthis newcomer. It is 
of strong, erect habit, about 3 feet high, requiring no staking or tying up, as it never produces a crooked stem; flowers of extra 
large size, with well rounded petals of great substance ; in color a clear orange-scarlet, with a satiny sheen, and showing the same 
brilliant coloring on both sides of the petals ; the lower. petals are traced and spotted with golden yellow, faintly suffused with 
violet shadings. From 4 to 6 of these gorgeous flowers are expanded on the spike at one time, and their great substance enables 
them to withstand both wind and sun and last in perfection for a long time. 30 cts. each; $300 per doz.; $20.00 per 100.
