GLADIOLUS. 



{Sec Cut.) 



One of the most 

 showy of all summer 

 and fall Howcvs ; in 

 fact there is no iiow- 

 er that equals it for 

 brilliant shades, and 

 none are more easily 

 grown. Plant seed 

 early as possible, 

 and in fall take up 

 small bulbs and keep 

 from freezing. The 

 next season they 

 should be planted 

 in clumps, beds, or 

 masses, and they 

 will produce the 

 finest effect. Too 

 much can not be 

 said of my grand 

 strain. They will 

 produce a goi'geous 

 array of colors.
