FRENCH VARIETIES OF GLADIOLUS GANDAVENSIS. 
The roots offered are from the most experienced cultivators in France, and are all selected to give large 
flower spikes. 
The Gladioli we have quoted are the most decorative for the flower garden, the most ornamental when cut, 
for filling vases, and the most desirable of the inexpensive varieties to cultivate for Exhibitions at Flower Shows, 
Bazaars &c. The Gladioli are arranged in groups according to the prevailing colour, so as to assist purchasers 
who prefer making their own selections. In the descriptions we give only the predominating colours, the 
markings, sh.tding, mottling, &C., if fully described would occupy much space, and convey but a meagre idea of 
the beauty represented in the numerous varieties of this grand family of hybrid Gladiolus, which were first raised 
by the la'e Mr. Souchet when gardener to Napo'eon the II., and it may not be uninteresting to those who 
cultivate this charming flower to be informed tnat Her Majesty Queen Victoria was the first person in England 
to cultivate Souchet’s beautiful hybrid Gladioli. 
CULTU HE.— Trench the ground as deep as the soil will admit, intermingling as the work proceeds abun- 
dance of rotten manure, and plant the roots at a depth of 6 inches.
