Gladiolus. 



New varieties now offered for the first time in this country. 



From the unbounded success attending the introduction of the New Varieties 

 of 1868, as exhibited by us, and admired by thousands, at the Massachusetts 

 Horticultural exhibitions during the past season, we offer these new varieties of 

 French and Belgian Hybrids with the utmost confidence, trusting they will prove 

 as beautiful as recommended.
