x GLADIOLUS BRENCHLEYENSIS. 
The Large-flowered Verm iliort-Sca.net Gladiolus. 
This well-known handsome Gladiolus blooms just before the Gladiolus Gandavensis varieties, and is 
one of the most valuable for bedding. Dy successional plantings outdoors from end of March to May, 
a brilliant display of bloom may be had from middle of July to late autumn. A fine effect may be 
produced by massing this Gladiolus with Galtonia candicans, the snowy white spikes of which top 
the Scarlet Gladioli ; both bloom about the same time. p. 100 p. dor.

x GLADIOLUS, NEW HYBRID BUTTERFLY. 
(Gladiolus Lemoinei.) 
These are the result of crossing the best forms of Gladiolus Gandayensis with Gladiolus purpureo- 
auratus, and are without doubt the most beautiful of all Gladioli, and should have a place in every 
flower border ; the flowers are of the most delicate and brilliant shades, and are all handsomely blotched 
with fine contrasting colours, reminding one of the beautiful Butterfly Tulips ( Caloehorti ). They are 
hardy vigorous growers, and if planted early in April bloom from the middle of July to the middle of 
August. A descriptive list will be found in our Spring Catalogue of Bulbs and Tubers.
