New Giant Flowered Gladiolus. 



We introduced this new variety in 1W6 and everybody who has seen 

 it growiner or exhibited, tells us that we have not sounded its praises 

 loudly enough, and that it will surely take a place in the first class for 

 vigor of growth and brilliancy of bloom. Its color is light scarlet of a 

 very pleasing shade wliich attracts attention at once. The flowers meas- 

 uring 4 to 5 inches are borne on long stems and 4 to b are open on the spike 

 at one time.

. In color it is a soft lavender pink, very light, almost a tinted white, 

 spikes two and three fe.it long, very large spreading blooms, and luxuri- 

 ant dark green foliage. It is evidently a favorite with florists already.- 

 bringing more than any other variety in the New York cut flower market.

 vigor and delicate coloring to the last.
