NEW GLADIOLUS SNOW WHITE." 



We now offer for the first time the famous and long- 

 looked-for Snow White Gladiolus. For an accurate de- 

 scription of this superb novelty we quote from the notes of 

 the grower and introducer : " It is the only really pure white 

 Gladiolus known ; the spikes are of large size, set solidly 

 with flowers from bottom to top ; the flowers are of the most 

 beautiful shape, exquisitely recurved and crisped ; the su- 

 perb spikes of bloom remain the same pure color week after 

 week, withstanding hot sun and wet weather. The large 

 bulbs send up vigorous and healthy plants, each bulb pro- 

 ducing a number of spikes." As we have made a special ar- 

 rangement with the introducer of this valuable Gladiolus, 

 we are able to make the price very low. Price, 35 cts. each; 

 3 for $1 ; 6 for $2 ; 12 for $3.90.
