GANDAVENSIS, THE AUTUMN FLOWERING GLADIOLUS. 
Notice.— /;z Au^^st 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. Orders may, however, be given from the Spring Catalogue 
of the present year, as these quotations hold good till the sst January, 1880. The varieties of Gandavensis should 
not be planted till after the middle of March. In our Experimental Grounds we have found early in May the 
best time for planting, but this depends however on soil and locality.

These are closely allied to the Gladiolus and form a nice variation, their long flower-spikes being very
