FRENCH HYBRID GLADIOLUS. 



They are the most statelv and efieetive of our summer flowering bulbs, being of a robust erect 

 erowth, with crreeu sword-shaped leaves and magnificent flower-scapes, rising from two to four 

 feet in' height The colors comprise the most brilliant of orange, scarlet, and vermilion tints 

 upon yellow and orange grounds, including a graduated scale of intermediate shades, from white 

 and rosy blush and salmon rose tints, to'a salmon red and nankeen ; from blush-white with 

 purple crimson throat, and marginal streak of pink, to light rosy salmon grounds, with flakes 

 of deep carmine. A succession of bloom may be had from July to September, by planting at 

 intervals from April to June, preserving the strongest bulbs for the latest planting. Their 

 culture is verv simjjle : thev will jrrow in any ordinary jrarden mould, but succeed best in good 

 earth, manured with well-rotted horse-dung. The bulbs' are taken up in the fall and placed in 

 a dry cellar, protected from frost.
