MAGNIFICENT NEW AND CHOICE VARIETIES OF 
GLADIOLUS 
AND 
NEW PLANTS. 
This beautiful tribe of plants should be largely planted everywhere, because 
THEY AUE PERFECTLY HARDY AND EASILY GROWN, 
THEY ARE GORGEOUSLY BEAUTIFUL. 
THEIR HANDSOME SPIKES OF FLOWERS ARB USEFUL FOR CUTTING. 
WHEN CUT AND PLACED IN WATER, THE FLOWERS EXPAND AND LAST A LONG TIME. 
PLANTED IN POTS THEY ARB EFFECTIYE FOR CONSERVATORY DECORATION. 
IN BORDERS AMONG EVERGREENS THEY ARB CHARMING. 
PLANTED BY HUNDREDS AMONG RHODODENDRONS, THEY BRIGHTEN AND ENLIVEN THE 
BEDS DURING THE SUMMER AND AUTUMN MONTHS ; INEXPENSIVE KINDS CAN BE 
SUPPLIED FOR THIS PURPOSE. 
FOR DECORATING VASES AND EPERGNES, GLADIOLUS SPIKES ARE INVALUABLE. 
GLADIOLUS FLOWERS HAVE SO MANY RECOMMENDATIONS, THAT ; — 
SCARCELY TOO MUCH CAN BE SAID IN THEIR FAVOUR.
