  This 
  is 
  a 
  very 
  beautiful 
  new 
  strain 
  of 
  

   Gladiolus 
  noted 
  for 
  its 
  early 
  flowering 
  

   habit 
  and 
  the 
  disease 
  resistance 
  of 
  its 
  

   bulbs. 
  The 
  flowers 
  are 
  well 
  opened 
  and 
  

   gracefully 
  arranged 
  on 
  strong, 
  tall 
  

   stems 
  attaining 
  a 
  height 
  of 
  3 
  feet 
  which 
  

   is 
  remarkable 
  as 
  the 
  bulbs 
  are 
  quite 
  

   small. 
  These 
  hybrids 
  are 
  not 
  hardv 
  

   and 
  are 
  adapted 
  to 
  forcing 
  or 
  pot 
  cul- 
  

   ture 
  for 
  which 
  they 
  are 
  highly 
  recom- 
  

   mended. 
  They 
  must 
  be 
  planted 
  in 
  Oc- 
  

   tober 
  and 
  November. 
  The 
  bulbs 
  are 
  

   available 
  early 
  in 
  September. 
  We 
  sug- 
  

   gest 
  that 
  all 
  florists 
  give 
  this 
  beautiful 
  

   new 
  strain 
  a 
  thorough 
  trial 
  to 
  convince 
  

   themselves 
  of 
  its 
  great 
  possibilities.
