/"}! ArWOI IT^ Early-Flowering Hardy. (For Autumn plant- 

 UL.rlL'lV/L, KJtJ, jng or Winter forcing.) These beautiful Burly-flow- 

 ering Gladiolus are greatly prized on account of their blooming In June and 

 July, if planted in the autumn in dry soil and protected with a covering of 

 about six inches of straw, leaves or litter. If planted in cold frames they will 

 flower as early as May, and 

 this is perhaps the better 

 way in very cold localities. 

 These Gladiolus are also 

 invaluable for flowering in 

 the greenhouse for winter 

 bloom. The flowers are 

 smaller and more refines 

 than those of the Ganda- 

 vensis Gladiolus; the colors 

 and markings are very hand- 

 some; the bulbs can be Kept 

 dormant until spring and 

 then be planted in Jopen 

 ground if preferred. (Keady
