EARLY^FLOWERING GLADIOLUS. 



These Gladiolus are invaluable for flowering in the greenhouse for winter 

 bloom. The flowers are smaller and more refined than those of the Ganda- 

 vensis Gladiolus; the colors and markings are very handsome; the bulbs can 

 be kept dormant until spring and then be planted in open ground if preferred, 

 blooming in June and July. If planted in cold frames they will flower as 

 early as May, and this is perhaps the better way in very cold localities. 

 (Ready in November.)
