GLADIOLUS COLVILLEI AND 

 NANUS 



Oellvary in Octobar and Novembar 



The " Colvillei " section should not l)e confused with the Gandavensis 

 or large-flowering Gladiolus. The "Colvillei" has much more slender 

 spikes and daintier flowers, which are very pretty for cutting and arrang- 

 ing in vases with ferns and other foliage. Florists often plant these in their 

 carnation beds.

BoddingtOn's Giant Cvclamen There are few winter-flowering bulbs more attractive than the Cyclamen, bemg an ideal 



■ '- plant for greenhouse or window decoration. Not only are they beautiful when in flower, 



but the foliage is also highly ornamental, being beautifully mottled. The Giant strain here offered is much superior to the old type, It is 

 often a hard matter to get dry bulbs started into growth. Therefore, when you have the facilities, we suggest sowing seed. (See page 28.)
