 singularly marked and soft as velvet, and also for their spikes of 

 brilliantly colored flowers, mostly scarlet and yellow. For a. con- 

 tinuous succession of bloom, the plants should be started at dif- 

 ferent times. Those started into growth in spring or summer 

 first will come into bloom by the end of September, and the 

 others will follow in succession through winter and spring.

Cil AniOI I T^ Early Flowering Hardy. (ForAutumn 

 VJI-<rlL/lvy L,<JJ. planting or Winter foccing.) These beauti- 

 ful Early-flowering Gladiolus are greatly prized on account of 

 their blooming in June and July, if planted in the autumn in dry 

 soil and protectedVith a covering of about six inches of straw, 

 leaves or litter. If, planted in cold frames they will flower as 

 early as May, and This is perhaps the better way in very cold 

 localities. These GlaVliolus are also invaluable for flowering in 

 the greenhouse for winter bloom. The flowers are smaller and 

 more refined than thosV of the Gandavensis Gladiolus ; the colors 

 and markings are very handsome; the bulbs can he kept dormant 

 until spring and then be planted in open ground if preferred.
