X GLADIOLUS GANDAVENSIS. 
The Larg^e-flowered Autumn Gladiolus. 
These Gladioli rank amongst the most decorative and handsome of late summer and autumn flowers, 
and should be given a place in every garden. Their grand spikes of bloom are greatly valued for vases, 
lasting as they do a long time in water, and mixing well with the choicest of flowers. A full descriptive 
list, with cultural directions, will be found in our Spring Catalogue of Bulbs and Tubers 
published February 1st, which may be had on application. 
Plant the bulbs out of doors from March to May, or pot up in February and March.

X GLADIOLUS, NEW HYBRID BUTTERFLY.

These beautiful hybrids originated by crossing the best forms of Gladiolus Gandavensis 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 j 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 {Cahehorti), 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.

BARR’S VELVETY GRASS PATHS AND BORDERS. 
A charming feature in well-laid-out Spring gardens are close velvety grass walks. They are soft to walk upon, 
restful to the eye, and provide a delightful contrast to the colours in the flower border. Broad bands of green grass 
separating the gravel path from the flower border are a great improvement to a garden. 
BARR'B SPECIAL SEED FOR GRASS PATHS AND BORDERS has been found a great success per lb. a/*
