GLADIOLUS LEMOINEI. 



It is interesting to raise Gladioli from seed and 

 not much work, as they should be sown out of 

 doors. They do not bloom until the second or 

 third year, but they may be sown in some out of 

 the way place while coming to maturity, and for 

 one who has the patience and true "flower in- 

 stinct it will be a great delight to see the endless 

 variety of colors and fantastic markings that 

 come from the seedlings, scarcely any two being 

 alike. No finer varieties are offered than the 

 I^emoinei, and they bloom two weeks earlier 

 than others. Pkt., 5 cts.
