THE DING-EE & OONARD COMPANY'S 



Our Splendid Seedling Gladiolus. 



OUR SPLENDID SEEDLING GLADIOLUS 

 have become almost as famous as our Roses ; their 

 wonderful beauty has attracted great attention, and they 

 are extensively planted in every State and Territory in 

 the Union. These magnificent Gladiolus are grown 

 from the Finest Selected French Hybrids, and 

 are really the Finest Strains of Gladiolus ever 

 produced ; they are fully equal in size of flower and 

 beauty of coloring to the highest priced Named Sorts, 

 costing many times as much. 



They are Easy to Grow and Sure to 

 Bloom. — Plant (after danger of freezing is past) in 

 ordinary soil, 3 inches deep and 6 or 8 inches apart, and 

 they will soon throw up tall spikes of beautiful flowers 

 of the most brilliant and gorgeous colors, crimson, scar- 

 let, purple, orange, white, etc., with all imaginable 

 shades and markings. They are superbly beautiful and 

 attract more attention than any other flower of their 

 season. By planting at two or three different times, you 

 can have a constant succession of bloom from July to 

 November. After the bloom is over and before cold 

 weather, the bulbs should be lifted and stored in a dry 

 place, secure from frost, where they will keep nicely and 

 be ready to plant again next season.
