THE GLADIOLUS, AUTUMN FLOWERING VARIETIES OF GANDAVENSIS. 
Notice. — In August it cannot be determined how the Gladiolus crop will turn out, consequently , till October, 
growers' prices are not known. We have , therefore, deferred quoting specific varieties till we issue our Seed 
Catalogue, which will contain a complete collection of these. Orders may, however, be given from the Spring 
Catalogue of the present year, as these quotations will hold good till the 1st fan nary, 1872/ any reduction which 
may take place in the prices, the advantage will be given to the autumn purchasers. The varieties of Gandavensis 
should not be planted till after the middle of March. 
Gladioli Spawn or Offsets, collected from the roots of the following magnificent collection 
These should be sown immediately they arc received. If in the open ground, they should be protected during winter.

In our Illustrated Album of Bulbous Roots (See Notice, p. 2) will be found figured most of the following 
MISCELLANEOUS BULBS AND TUBERS. 
There are no doubt many persons who peruse our Catalogue whose practical knowledge of flowering bulbs is 
limited to Hyacinths, Tulips, Crocuses, Narcissi, Gladioli, Lilies, and perhaps a few others more or less popular. 
In addition to these, however, there is a vast number of other bulbous and tuberous-rooted plants (the following 
being merely a selection), of which nothing can exceed the brilliancy, the beauty, and the variety of their flowers, 
or the elegance and effectiveness of their foliage, and one or other of which at nearly every season of the year is an 
object of attraction. Their culture cannot by any means be considered difficult, most of the hardier varieties 
requiring a light porous soil, lying well to the sun, and slightly protected during winter ; while those which 
require in-door treatment should be grown in well-drained pots, in a mixture of leaf-soil, loam, peat, and silver 
sand. 
Those who can make it convenient to call at our warehouse, can, through the medium of our Illustrated 
Album of Bulbous Roots, make themselves acquainted with these interesting forms of floral beauty ; while for 
those living at a distance we shall be happy to make a selection of the roots suitable to the accommodation they 
may possess, at the prices enumerated, including only the bulbs and roots in this section of our Catalogue. A 
few of these are now ready to send out, but a large number of them being still in growth, it will be November before 
general orders for the following can be executed.
