GLADIOLUS. 



Ready in November. 



The following varieties are the sorts generally to be had at 

 this season ot the year, and they are usually planted in ]k)Is in 

 autumn, and require to be kept in a warm room or gnjenhou.^e, 

 except those prefixed with an (*), which are hardy, and may be 

 planted out; it is best, however, to give them a sliglit protection. 

 Some varieties are successfully forced. 



The French Hybrids, for spring i)lanting, will be in bv No- 

 vember. These form a family of buil)s of rare beauty. Every 

 year is now adding varieties of most tx(juisite tint i:iid shade'; 

 and from the time of year during which these bloom, and the 

 long continuance of their flowers in perfection, they liecome one 

 of the greatest ornaments of the garden at a season when flowers 

 of vivid tints are scarce. They are valuable for bedding. 



Named varieties will be found in our General Catalofjue, 

 published January 1.

GLOXINIAS. 



Ready in November. 



'////// 



1] 



Gloxinias are among the most beautiful of greenhouse plants, 

 the flowers l)eing remarkalde for the intensity and variety of their 

 coloring, and the ex(|uisite manner in which they are often 

 l)lotched, mottled, penciled and blended. The plants are ex- 

 tremely floriferous and. by making successive pottings, they may 

 be had in bloom the greater part of the year. They thrive best 

 in a soil composed of leaf-mould and peat in equal parts, with a 

 little sand added. When growing, plenty of water should be supplied, Imt il should always be tepid. The bulbs 

 we offer are large-sized, and of the erect flowering strain.
