BEAUTIFUL HYBRID FRENCH GLADIOLUS. 
No plant of recent introduction has given such universal satis- 
faction as the Gladiolus ; its diversity of color and easy culture, 
have combined to place it in the first rank as a florist flower. As 
cut specimens in water, for house decorations, nothing can equal 
this flower for long continued bloom. If a spike, tlie lower flow- 
ers of which are just beginning to open, be cut and placed in 
water, the whole will expand successively, equally well with 
those remaining on the plant. 
To those who saw the beautiful effect produced in our stand of 
flowers at the weekly exhibitions of the Massachusetts Horti- 
cultural Society, the past season, by the Gladtolus in conned- 
tion with other Flowers, particularly with G. Krenchleyensis, 
will fully appreciate all that can be said in their favor. 
They would also inform lovers of this beautiful flower, that 
many thousand seedlings will be in bloom, in their grounds, this 
season. Some of those that flowered last year proved even better 
than the older foreign hybrids.
