FRENCH VARIETIES OF GLADIOLUS GANDAVENSIS. 
In the following list of Gladioli, the most desirable varieties afe quoted. The descriptions give the pre- 
dominating colours, and the varieties are arranged in groups according to their colour, to assist purchasers in 
making their selection. 
We feel it important to add that , in our experimental trials we annually discard those which have been 
superseded by better sorts, or where the distinction is not sufficiently marked. 
Culture. — Trench the ground as deep as the soil will admit, intermingling as the work proceeds abun- 
dance of rotten manure, and plant the roots at a depth of 6 inches. 
Time of Planting.— From the middle of April to the beginning of June we consider the best time to plant, 
and when one planting only is made, we should recommend early in May, but for successional plantings 
commence middle of April, and continue fortnightly till the middle of June. 
Planting to Advantage. — G roups of three to a dozen roots planted in the flower borders in distinct or 
diversified colours, produce an exceedingly fine effect. Plant the roots 4 inches from each other, and when 
sufficiently advanced place a stake in the centre, and fasten the plants to it. 
In the first Division we give the Crimsons, Scarlets, and deep shades of Red ; in the second, the light 
Scarlets, the warm soft shades of Red, and the Roses shading to Salmon ; in the third, the Purples and those 
which are Mottled Purple ; in the fourth, the Whites, and Blushes, and in the fifth, the Yellows. 
For convenience the pi ices are quoted for one bulb, but if ordered by the dozen, those ojfcred at ad. each will be 
charged per dozen, 2/6/ 4 d., 3/6/ 6 d., 5/6; 9 d., 7/6 / 1/0, 10/6, andso on.
