x GLADIOLUS BRENCHLEYENSIS. 
The Large-flowered Vermilion-Scarlet Gladiolus. 
This well-known handsome Gladiolus blooms just before the Gladiolus Gandavensis 
varieties, and is one of the most valuable for bedding. By successional plantings 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.

These are the result of crossing the best forms of Gladiolus Gandavensis 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 arc of the most delicate and brilliant shades, and are all handsomely blotched 
with fine contrasting colours, reminding one of the beautiful Butterfly Tulips ( Calochorti ). 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 Bulb Catalogue.
