X GLADIOLUS, NEW HYBRID BUTTERFLY. 
(Gladiolus Lemoinei.) 
These beautiful hybrids originated by crossing the best forms of Gladiolus Gandavensls with 
Gladiolus purpureo-auratus, and have been since improved by hybridising. They 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 (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 Catalogue of Bulbs and Tubers.
