x GLADIOLUS GANDAVENSIS. 
Large-flowered Autumn Gladiolus. 
In spite of all the various new hybrid Gladioli recently raised, the Gladiolus Gandayensis

a valuable decorative plant for the flower and herbaceous border. A descriptive list, with cultural 
directions, will be found in our Spring Catalogue of Bulbs and Tubers published February i si, 
which may be had on application. 
Plant the corms out of doors from March to May, or pot up in February and March.

X GLADIOLUS BRENCHLEYEIMSIS. 
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 outdoors from end of March to May, 
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. , V
