 being made in this popular plant. In profusion of bloom they are remarkable; begin- 

 ning early in_ summer they send up shoot after shoot, thus continuing in flower all 

 summer. It is no exaggeration to say that the flower spikes, in size, richness, and di- 

 versity of color, are equal to many varieties of Gladiolus.

 continue without interruption ^ until frost. Add to the prevailing color 

 a golden border and center with each petal flaked carmine-crimson, and

 foliage. Height 3H feet. Price dormant root, 40c. each, S4.00 per doz.
