-QL^mObUS 



The most popular and most satisfactory of all summer flowering 

 bulbs, and from their great richness and brilliancy of color, one of the 

 most beautiful and strikino: flowers in cultivation. It is so easy to 

 grow, in any gook garden soil, and so sure to bloom, from July to 

 November that everyone should plant them. For cutting they are 

 unsurpassed, being very enduring, and will open out to the last bud 

 when placed in water. Plant from middle of April to June, putting 

 the bulbs about four inches deep and six or eight inches 

 apart. By planting at different times, ten days or two 

 weeks apart, a succession of bloom will be obtained throuh- 

 out the season. 



Monmouth Mixture. This is composed entirely 

 of choice nam^d varieties and embraces all colors: red in 

 all shades, white and light colored, yellow and variegated 

 Those who wi.sh a very .superior mixture will derive great 

 pleasure from these bulbs, but I cannot sell them at as low 

 a price as some mixtures are sold. Quality considered, I 

 believe them to be the cheapefit by far of all mixtures 

 of Gladiolas in commerce. Especially valuable for bedding 

 and massing and sure to give great satisfaction. The 

 bulbs are all flrst-class in size and superior in every way.
