in the fall. Store where safe from frost, after the bulbs are well dried. I lost a large 
number of my own bulbs during the extremely cold weather of last winter. 
America has had the heaviest sale of any Gladiolus ever sold and is now within the 
reach of all. It is very vigorous, with soft lavender-pink flowers, large and spreading, 
on stout stems. One of the very best cut-flowers. I have good bulbs at 4 cts. each, 
40 cts. per doz., $2.50 per 100. 
Attraction is a very fine variety, with deep crimson flowers having a conspicuous 
white throat. 5 -cts. each, 50 cts. per doz. 
Baron Hulot is the very best blue-purple Gladiolus, and admired wherever seen. 
Described as a rich violet-blue. 10 cts. each, $1 per doz. 
Empress of India has large, velvety maroon flowers. 10 cts. each, $1 per doz. 
Glory of Holland is pure white with lilac anthers; fine. 10 cts. each, 75 cts. per doz., 
$4 per 100. 
Halley was the large species so much admired in the Netherlands Exhibit at the 
Panama-Pacific. It is a lovely salmon-pink with the lower portion blotched red and yel- 
low. Very strong and fine for cutting. 8 cts. each, 75 cts. per doz. 
Mrs. Francis King is a beautiful vermilion-scarlet, or almost a flame-color. Whether 
for forcing, cut-flowers, or the garden, it is a first-class variety, and at the low prices that 
I make is worthy of the attention of everyone. 5 cts. each, 50 cts. per doz., $2.50 per 100. 
Lily Lehmann is an exquisitely lovely white, with frilled edge slightly tinged rose. 
The flowers are large; the stems not tall. 10 cts. each, $1 per doz. 
Panama is a lovely, soft rose-pink and the finest pink that I have ever seen. It is 
strong and large-flowered and will please everyone. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. 
Princeps, the amaryllis-fiowered Gladiolus, is a glorious rich scarlet marked with 
white in throat and one of the showiest of all varieties. 7 cts. each, 75 cts. per doz. 
Willy Wigman is a beautiful soft rose, with dark red blotch. Very fine. 10 cts. 
each, $1 per doz., $6 per 100.

GYPSOPHILA acutifolia is a valuable strong-growing plant which branches widely 
and grows to 3 feet. The many tiny white flowers are flushed pink and make an attrac- 
tive mass. Flowers in midsummer. It is excellent for bouquet greens. Sit., sun. Soil, 
any garden soil. Prop., seeds. PL, October to March. 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz. 
G. paniculata, double, forms a full bush-like plant over 3 feet high and as broad, 
with a great many branches and innumerable little double white flowers. In full bloom 
it is simply exquisite and most valuable for bouquet greens. The flowers are ever- 
lasting. Good plants, 30 cts. each, $3 per doz. 
Sil , sun Soil, a loose, well- worked loam. PL, October to March. Prop., it does 
not come from seeds and only grafted plants are good. It is grafted on the common 
Gypsopkila paniculata. 25 cts. each. 
GLATJCIUM flavum tricolor is the Horned Poppy. See Poppies, page 28. 
GOLDENRODS (Solidago al- 
tissima) have many species, all in- 
teresting. I offer the giant of them 
all, which grows from 6 to 8 feet in 
height, and bears large panicles of 
golden flowers in late summer and 
fall. Plant in good garden soil, 18 
inches apart, and divide to single 
shoots every winter. 15 cts. each, 
$1.2$ per doz. 
*HELIANTHEMTJMS, or Rock 
Roses, are plants that should be far 
better known, as they are both beau- 
tiful and peculiarly well adapted to 
California. The flowers, when 
single, are like little roses and 
very dainty. They do well at 
the top of a wall to droop down, 
■on rockwork, in borders, or to fill 
dry, hot corners. SiL, sun. PL, 
any time, as they are sold in pots. 
Prop., cuttings. I offer in pots, 
Double Red, Single White, and Hellebores, sh 
a peculiar shade that is probably are well pr 
wing them forced. Growing plants 
vided with foliage. (Sec page 10.)
